Can't Escape It!


It feels like everyone is out to take advantage sometimes, right? Look at your phone bill, hotel bill, heck even your restaurant bill. If you don't pay close enough attention, sometimes they sneak a fast one by you. 

Why? For your money of course. I mean, come on...while I was on vacation, the hotel where I stayed tried to charge me an extra dollar a night for having a safe in my room. Not for using it, not even for agreeing that it was there...just because.

Now, I know a dollar a night for 3 nights isn't much...but what about the mass number of people that miss that hidden detail in the bill. I agreed to 85 dollars a night, not 86. I made them refund me the 3 bucks, but I know it happens alot. It's such an easy item to overlook.

 I think it all started with the phone bills. You know, when they start adding charges like the Universal Service Charge. Ridiculous. Give me one bill, one fair easy to read bill. PLEASE! If not, can we go back to the old days...even the old phones?

Wishful thinking, right?
