Sometimes I feel like banks are ripping people off. What about "transaction fees"? Is this usually the cost of what it cost the business to scan your credit card? It seems like there have been times when I had "transaction fees" that were complete bullshite.

And razors. I really don't know the cost to produce razors, but with the amount that is produced, I would think its cents on a dollar per razor.. Is this a wrong assumption? Either way, the cost when they reach the stores are insane.

There is bound to be a huge mark up on heroin, coke, meth, etc. Not saying from experience or anything, just saying.....

This year my place of employment is forcing us to pay $100 a month if our spouse has insurance offered at their place of business. So basically they're taxing us $1,200 a year for having a spouse that works.

Seems fair...

This one for fricking sure. Waiting for the "Dollar Shave Club-esque" answer to the scam of textbooks.

Also, I read a while back that the drinks McDonalds sells you costs them about 3-6 cents but they charge $1.75+


They make most of their money off of drink sales lmao

Smartphones

Apple spends $236 to make each iPhone 6s Plus device, which it sells for over three times that value at $749—a 217.4 percent markup that highlights the tech giant's ability to dominate the premium market while other smartphone makers struggle.

You do realize that DSC is repackaging and charging you more for something that you can just order off the Internet, right?
