This is the sort of thing, we have to have an adult in the room.

When complex, confusing pricing structures exist.. fiddling with them becomes a salesman / marketers main tool. It's what they do everyday, how they operate, the wins bring to the table.

These are the knobs that they twiddle, and have for decades been producing reports quantifying the value of their work. They are now panicking, that they won't know how to do their job.. and reporting to CEOs that profits/sales in all those reports will disappear.

Irl, this is pulling a Band-Aid. You could make all service charges illegal, from cafes to airlines.. and the industries we'll have forgotten about it within weeks or months.
