Fewer Oreos in some packages, a 3% surcharge on a restaurant bill, no room service—companies are finding ways to pass costs on to customers without raising prices.

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises Inc., a Chicago-based restaurant group, has added a 3% “processing fee” to checks at many of its restaurants. Harley-Davidson Inc. added a charge last year to its motorcycles to cover rising material costs. Peloton Interactive Inc. in January began charging $250 for delivery and setup of some of its indoor bikes, a service that was previously included free.

Companies are finding all kinds of ways to make consumers pay for rising costs. Often that is not reflected in the posted price.

Yet corporate profits are higher than ever

Fewer facts in some articles, discounting truth in reporting-- WSJ is finding ways to pass bullpuckys on to customer without raising prices.

That’s called raising prices …

The 3% surcharge and no room service I can deal with, but DO NOT cheat me on my Oreos!

Eventually package sizes will get so small that we will be paying for air, but the price will not go up anymore:)

All tricks previously applied in Brazil for decades.

Huge raises in CEO salaries

it's just corporate greed

The Republicans are on the Corporate Payroll resulting in: *Price Gouging *Record Profits *CEOs making MILLIONS

'Hidden?' Hidden from whom? Certainly not consumers. Companies aren't fooling anyone. Remember that one year Girl Scouts tried to package Thin Mints in a tray (less cookies) instead of a sleeve? Yeah... we noticed.

Yet companies are making record profits

Thanks for the enlightening DUH!. This has to be a story for the obvious-fact naive. The general public is well aware of what we are being gouged for, and are just fine not acknowledging it.

I agree with less sugar. Smaller chocolates. 🤣

Welcome to Bidenomics 101.

hey man .. revenue has to come from somewhere

Yeah it’s like we have forgton what our four farthest had to put in our buisness to have a great buisness not dull

Finding? this has been going crazy n for decades! The implication is that thus is some sort of recent event, brought on by higher wage. The profits are what’s important. And to keep them astronomical they need to cut cost and have been with wage increases . That’s just facts

It’s pure greed

There's nothing new about this. They've done this every time inflation occurs. Its just new for those younger than Generation X.

Duh! The fact is that they prey on the stupidity or complacency of regular people. Regular people need to wake up and wise up!!

Less product for the same price is raising prices. A 3% surcharge is literally a price increase.

Soon we'll get 1.5 goldfish per flight.
