There are all kinds of things where there's a service fee tacked on for more expensive or convenient ways of accessing city or public services. I can apply for parking permit or pay parking tickets for free if I walk to the parking office, or for the cost of a stamp, envelope, and a check if I mail it, or for a 2.75% (minimum $1.50) convenience charge if I use a credit card.
Am I being discriminated against without even realizing it?
