And every “cancel anytime at our front desk between 2-4 PM on a Tuesday” gym.
Chargeback time!
Every time I have tried this my bank sided with the company
Time to change banks.
I actually did lol I went to a credit union.
Before that I only went to small banks but they kept getting bought out by bigger ones every year my bank got bigger and bigger until I had a shit national bank again.

I’ve never gotten a hold of a gym manager faster than when I reported them to my bank for fraudulently charging an account they said they’d removed from their system.
Too late buddy.
I’ve only been a member of two gyms, and they both let me out of my membership over the phone. One was 24hr Fitness in WA, and the other was some big chain in AZ (can’t remember which one)
This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).
Can we also target restaurants that list a price and then add on bogus fees for no reason?
Looking at you, South End Buttery Annex in Boston, MA. 4% “administrative fee” on all purchases that is advertised NOWHERE.
Reminds me of a local restaurant where they train the servers to ask if you want any sauces/dips, and then fail to inform you that they’re charging you for it when you say yes. Shadiest shit ever.
I would also like to put an end to banks sharing my new credit card information with businesses I have subscriptions with. A lot of subscriptions would de facto cancel if banks quit providing that information.
Holy shit what!? I’ve never had this happen… Sounds like fraud!
No it’s a real thing: https://developer.visa.com/use-cases/identify-merchants-receiving-automatic-card-updates
I became aware when I tried to quiet cancel a service just by not updating them with my new card expiration date. Turns out they automatically get the updated info from the issuing bank.
Wow what’s the point of the expiration date then? Damn that is so shady by those companies that do that!

I’d like to unsubscribe from Social Security, and income tax, he should start with those.
ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for banana bread!
I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it’s already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class ‘opt out’ of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte…I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards
I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.
Where the heck were you that there was a “dine-in” fee at a Subway? I’ve been to that restaurant in half a dozen states and never seen that.
Actually, I didn’t think I’ve seen any restaurant charge for that, ever.
Also, wtf does that have to do with subscription services and auto renewals?
You didn’t pay a fee for dining in. Fuck off.
I know I have been to restaurants that have added a dine in fee to the receipt.
Who knows to whether or not that was legal, but it happens.
You fuck off.
Name one.
Why the hostility? It took three seconds of searching to find an article with dine in fees.
‘Dine-in Fee’
At Che Fico on Divisadero Street, customers pay a 10% “dine-in fee” and are encouraged to tip too.
10% and even a tip (though why one would tip a counter worker at Subway, I don’t know) does not come close to ‘almost double’ that the poster claimed, however.
Why the desire to answer the question for other people?
“Why are you standing up for this guy I’m trying to bully?”
I’d like to know one they’ve been to.
Y’all really are all about the cyber-bullying here 😂
edit: post before me had the same link and quote
Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn’t Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.
Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That’s 100%.
Regardless, there has never been a tax for dining. State taxes are in single digits and varies across states. Maybe you added a very generous tip which doubled your bill and you are calling that as dining tax.
There is a difference in tax sometimes between to go (takeaway) and dining in.
Less toxic when you aren’t talking out your ass, yes.
Please, try to be more respectful.
Rephrase it for me.
Beep boop?
Boop beep.
☐ Be you robots?
Oh, that’s evil. A fee for dining in is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard of. I would be livid.
I would pay for take out and then simply eat inside.
