LOL just thinking how much I spend on fishing and how $1.50 is just a drop in the hat, Ill tell you those kind of fees are getting ridiculous, Like you said about saving 5 by online registration, Its really just where they added $5 to doing business in person.
A prime example, I have my Auto and Life Insurance through State Farm... Now I like a paper copy of my Bill and dont feel comfortable giving them an open "in" to my account, not that they would rob me or anything, but just feel like a paper bill and stroking a check would keep me on my P's & Q's about maintaining a balanced check book being that the bill varies a few dollars from month to month. Well they charge me $3.00 per billing statement to mail it to me ..... I am a landscaper by trade and KNOW that I couldnt charge someone for a paper copy of an invoice or even an estimate which involves physically being in the field to lay eyes and possibly measurements and shooting grades for figuring materials. I myself believe that $3 bucks should be absorbed by the business, or at least figured in and hidden LOL.
Now Ill give you something to think about, A mechanic will diagnose a problem and give you a best case and / or worst case estimate for parts and labor, If you go into a hospital they cant give you an estimate...... and better yet If your in bad shape and decide to opt out of treatment they can get the law involved, you have no choice, the matter is then out of your hands.... for example last year my dad went to a patient first over a sever flu/respiratory Infection, His blood oxygen level was low, my mom was there and they decided he needed to be rushed to the hospital, he said okay my wife will get me there, the doctor replied your going in an ambulance, he refused they said they could go with the police or without...... Locked into a $500 12 mile ride.... crazy, seems crooked.
