This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).
Can we also target restaurants that list a price and then add on bogus fees for no reason?
Looking at you, South End Buttery Annex in Boston, MA. 4% "administrative fee" on all purchases that is advertised NOWHERE.
Reminds me of a local restaurant where they train the servers to ask if you want any sauces/dips, and then fail to inform you that they're charging you for it when you say yes. Shadiest shit ever.
I would also like to put an end to banks sharing my new credit card information with businesses I have subscriptions with. A lot of subscriptions would de facto cancel if banks quit providing that information.
Holy shit what!? I've never had this happen... Sounds like fraud!
No it's a real thing: https://developer.visa.com/use-cases/identify-merchants-receiving-automatic-card-updates
I became aware when I tried to quiet cancel a service just by not updating them with my new card expiration date. Turns out they automatically get the updated info from the issuing bank.
I'd like to unsubscribe from Social Security, and income tax, he should start with those.
ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for banana bread!
I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it's already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class 'opt out' of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte....I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards
I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.
You didn't pay a fee for dining in. Fuck off.
I know I have been to restaurants that have added a dine in fee to the receipt.
Who knows to whether or not that was legal, but it happens.
You fuck off.
Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn't Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.
Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That's 100%.
Oh, that's evil. A fee for dining in is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard of. I would be livid.
I would pay for take out and then simply eat inside.
