Follow along with a group of friends on a theoretical weekend getaway as they navigate a bevy of real-world fees.
In today’s economy, extra fees allow services to appear cheaper than they actually are. From airlines to online booking services, many industries are leaning into fees as a way to grapple with inflation and the economic shocks of the covid-19 pandemic. And while companies may see add-on fees as empowering customers to choose what services they want, critics say fee structures can confuse consumers and make it harder for them to make informed decisions about how to spend their money.
This issue has gotten so out of hand that President Biden used part of his State of the Union speech last month to urge Congress to pass a Junk Fee Prevention Act that could crack down on specific fees designed to deceive consumers or take advantage of the power a company has in the marketplace. In this comic, follow along with a group of friends on a theoretical weekend getaway as they navigate a bevy of real-world fees.
