At ~$190/person, that honestly strikes me as low. A single last-second convenience fee to an entertainment venue can be tens of dollars. Monthly, it feels like almost every service I use has an unstated fee above and beyond the quoted sticker price.
- jwagenet 3y agoI’d guess that something like 80% of fees are shouldered by 20% of folks (or maybe 60/40, 70/30). The bottom quarter to half of Americans probably don’t have large entertainment and travel budgets.
