Car rental (insurance, fuel)
High end hotels (resort fees, internet, mini-bar)
Cable/satellite (low intro fees, maint fees)
AT&T/phone (bill needs Navajo code talkers to decipher)

All of their business models are based on deceiving their customer

You don't have to get ripped off though. There are economical ways to shave and shave better.

I can't advocate for eating bad delivery pizza, but only the elite suckers pay 16-20 bucks for a large pizza from a shitty chain.

Oh I never do it. But some do. I haven't paid more than 6$ for a pizza from one of those places in who knows how long.

there's very little "negotiation." Most of the time it's a take it or leave it kind of deal. And, there is no negotiation (as far as i know) with medicare/medicaid.

Every restaurant that charges $1.75 -- $3.00 for iced tea. It's freaking hot water and tea bags. Costs them $0.10 at the most.

CELGENE - company made thalidomide (sp?). My dad was dying of cancer and they rip people off to the tune of $5000/month for that shite. Parents were negatively impacted by Katrina. I wrote a letter to the company asking for a break....never heard from those bitches. I will hold a grudge against those bastards until I die.

ISP. They have the gov backing them, and force us to pay top dollar for terrible Internet. Car dealerships. They also have the gov protecting them, and prevent direct sells to the consumer. Beer distributors. Same as car dealerships.
