If the gym users are "used to that sleaziness" and are willing to give their money to these businesses (and apparently their bank account info too sometimes), then it's obviously "acceptable" to them. If something is "unacceptable" to me, then I would not put up with it at all. A gym treating me this badly is unacceptable to me, so I would not sign up for membership with such a business. I may not be able to get much done legislatively, but I don't have to put up with those business practices myself: I can choose to not do business with them. A gym membership is not mandatory in life, the way buying food is for instance. I feel like when people make bold statements about something being "unacceptable" as we see here, it's nothing more than grandstanding.
