Actually they missed the most frustrating of all rip-offs and it's a small one too.


Whenever you try to purchase a snack from a vending machine, the thing turns and it doesn't drop down.. seriously there is nothing more aggravating than that.

How about beer at the ACC or Skydome? I heard on the radio this morning that beer at the Skydome is the 3rd most expensive in all of baseball.

The movie convenience fees for purchasing on line are definitely a rip-off.

Printer ink also comes to mind - the most expensive fluid known to mankind.

McGuinty's eco fees. I bought a reduced set of computer speakers for five bucks and there was a $3.75 eco fee on speakers.

people are mad at trivia compared to

the monopolies held by pro sports


the rich paying no taxes

bike gangs and organized crime

 

[GPIDEAL]

the rich paying no taxes

That's a myth (at least in Canada). The rich who pay little or no tax are either domiciled in a tax-free jurisdiction, have applied losses incurred against earnings, or have made donations or earned tax credits for investing in the economy according to the rules of the land.

What's worse are monopolies everywhere.

Fuel "surcharges" on airline tickets.

The fuel surcharge on an Air Canada ticket is about exactly what the total per seat mile fuel cost is!

exactly...paid for a $400 ticket, when at check out a $398 fuel charge & other taxes were added

McDonald's.Egg mcmuffin and a coffee close to six dollars. Coffee and a fish filet,no fries same thing. Always mean to boycott them. Have pretty much.
