I know you're being facetious, but honestly this is basically what I've been told by people not being facetious in person when I complain about it. How is this any different than the Mob shaking people down? "It'd be a real shame if we 'inconvenienced' you."

I am not being "facetious". For me it is simply another custom in US, you have to pay for all sorts of stuff with hidden fees.

You make it sound like an acceptable practice. What's your reasoning behind not questioning these "customs"?

Why would I care? US is bloody expensive already, some small fee is not going to save it. And I only visit US on business trips, that are covered by company.

If you do not like it, get out.
