Giant, bold text that says "price is all-inclusive. No additional fees!"
- IncRnd 4y agoAt checkout, when there are no additional fees: Customer: What is this extra fee on my bill? Business: There is no extra fee. Customer: It's this number right here. That's a fee. Why is it there? Business: No no no. That's not a fee. It's for your benefit. Consumer: What does that even mean? Business: That's a final emolument that is used to keep costs for consumers low and fee-free. Everybody pays it, since it is for your safety and benefit. Final emoluments like this are mandated, since we are completely free of hidden fees.
