      Convenience fee is the best name they can apply to soften a fee, which is really just a way for them to charge more than the list price.

      Fees should be universally folded into the list price by default.

      Essentially automated greed. They make more money by automating their employees and they charge you even more because of how convenient it was for them to do so.

      I visited Marrakesh back in 2018 and went to a famous coffee shop where you can see the main city square from above. When I asked for the bill, the employee said the price plus a “serving” fee. This “convenience” fee has the same bullshit energy as the fee in the coffee shop in Morocco.
