No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

Disagree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

While including all costs in the final purchase price could be seen as promoting transparency and fairness, it also limits how businesses can structure their pricing. This could be viewed as contrary to consumerism's support for a free market where businesses have the freedom to innovate in their pricing strategies.
