I get so pissed off at Ticketmaster for its convenience fee, mostly because it’s only convenient in a we-can-charge-you-more-money-and-you-have-to-live-with-it way. Another example of this is that System Access Fee that Rogers charged, but at least I can get around it by using PayGo. I encountered yet another iteration of this stupid type of fee when I was ordering CDs off Best Buy.

In order to ship a CD to your home, you have to pay $1.50. Your alternative is to pick it up at the store, so you pay a buck fifty for not having to goto the store. OK great, so I add another CD to my cart to combine shipping, and what happens? I now have to pay $3 for shipping. That’s so dumb, can’t they put two CDs into an envelope and ship it together? Apparently not.
