Another minor gripe about the capitalist system

Companies sure are hitting a low point when they "have to charge" 25 cents for using a card for transactions.
They say it is to "recover costs"
My rent went up last week and I received notification yesterday that I need to top up the rental bond by 4 times the amount of the rent increase.
McDonalds last week, the cashier was 5 cents short in my change and I asked for the 5 cents.
"Sheese, it is only 5 cents."
"Goes both ways you know, If I was 5 cents short you would demand the money or I would not get the product"

Where will it all end?

Once upon a time, you "owned" your own money and the banks paid you a small sum to borrow it.
Now they control your money and charge you for using it in many situations

@Convivial I agree. The banks do all they can to keep and use my money, paying me a pittance. I often write to my bank to disagree with their business model.
They're greedy @Convivial

@Spoiledbrat definitely... There's not a lot of difference between now and then with the company towns
