Jeff @jeffmeyer.dev · Apr 17 Hey @alexis4seattle.bsky.social any chance we could have a Seattle "pricing transparency" bill come to the council? I'm quite tired of these deceptive pricing practices that our local businesses seem quite fond of, rather than raising their prices to reflect costs. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

I also find these practices quite annoying, and have similarly written emails asking that local businesses just raise their prices instead. It doesn't talk as much about this price vs fee tradeoff, but this article from a Seattle biz owner taught me a lot: charlieanthe.medium.com/why-its-so-h...
Well, it was a good run going to Mox but I guess I'm done. They never say why they refuse to raise prices in a fair way instead of raising prices in a sneaky way.
