            That’s because chargebacks are for fraud and shitty like that isn’t Illegal

          I’ve never gotten a hold of a gym manager faster than when I reported them to my bank for fraudulently charging an account they said they’d removed from their system.

          Too late buddy.

    This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).

    Can we also target restaurants that list a price and then add on bogus fees for no reason?

    Looking at you, South End Buttery Annex in Boston, MA. 4% “administrative fee” on all purchases that is advertised NOWHERE.

      Reminds me of a local restaurant where they train the servers to ask if you want any sauces/dips, and then fail to inform you that they’re charging you for it when you say yes. Shadiest shit ever.

    I would also like to put an end to banks sharing my new credit card information with businesses I have subscriptions with. A lot of subscriptions would de facto cancel if banks quit providing that information.

    I’d like to unsubscribe from Social Security, and income tax, he should start with those.

      I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it’s already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class ‘opt out’ of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte…I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards

    I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.
