How about we put a ban on all fake mandatory fees as well?
We just had to buy a new car, and the dealers had a “market value adjustment” fee of $5k. Then a bunch of other “fees” for “mandatory” services not from the manufacturer. You get similar with Ticketmaster advertising a ticket price but then having mandatory fees (I’m surprised artists haven’t sued them - it’s clear artists get a % of ticket price and Ticketmaster is separating out myriad fees so that they’re not part of the face value of the ticket)
The only prices you should be permitted to exclude from a price are government taxes - and only then because in the US the tax system is insane.
