There's no justification from a pure convenience standpoint, but I could respect the pettiness if the electric company ran their shit like one local government office in my hometown, where there was this small annual fee they charged like $9 for...but then to pay it, you could either mail in a check, hand deliver cash or check or card...or pay online...where they added a $5 "convenience fee" to a sub-$10 payment.
You bet your ass that I paid that shit in person every year, in loose change, and requested a receipt (which they had to write up manually because they didn't have a system to process and print one).
I live by this philosophy
If you charge me more to make both our lives easier, I will make both our lives harder out of spite.
It will cost you more than the fee you tried to squeeze out of me, and I will have spent nothing.
Now do Ticketmaster
I would but arson is a crime
My city's water bill went from a free online portal to a shittier one with a fee. I pay it by check now out of pettiness.
Yeah I refuse to pay a "convenience fee." I'll mail a f*ing check if they try to charge me.
No fee for the portal. His only justification was it is some human interaction, which is fine. Just feels like a boomer mentality.
Hell, you can even pay through a check via the banks online portal. Dude doesn't have a cell phone and never has.
