Junk fees are hidden and unexpected charges that are often not included in the initial or listed price of a transaction but are added on at the time of the payment. Airlines, hotels, concert ticket providers and banks often add them onto the cost of a service or good after the consumer has seen the original price. Proponents of the rule argue that getting rid of these fees will make prices more transparent for consumers and save them money. Opponents argue that private businesses would simply raise prices in response to the regulations and there isn’t a guarantee that flying or staying in a hotel would be any less expensive.

If the government is taking a fee, this could reduce the amount of revenue someone could spend in the city

Yes, all charges should be visible beforehand, reflected in the purchase price. The government should also intervene to prevent monopolies such as Ticketmaster.
@7F46CCVLiberal Democrat11mos11MO
Yes, except for taxes such as a hypothetical tourist tax.
@9B84XHJ1yr1Y
No, but if the search is unlawful yes.
@99QYDG81yr1Y
I think VAT on hospitality, banking, and social care should be at a lower rate at 17.5% but not utilities
@99GJMCB1yr1Y
Yes, force businesses to add them to the sticker price.
