Ending Junk Fees, the Most Annoying Thing in American Commerce
I traveled extensively for work for years — around 100 nights&#x2F;year, on average.  So, I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels.<p>“Resort” and “amenity” fees were occasional annoyances, but the number 1 purveyor of junk fees in hospitality is local government.<p>There were nearly always 1 - 3 junk taxes in addition to normal sales tax added on to the bill as a way to extort money from a group of people who have no franchise to contest the predatory taxes.<p>I’ll not hold my breath waiting for the government to do anything about that.
