what a foccing con

[peterjca]

The person doing the back end admin also has to get paid somehow......

It's a con. How would you feel if you had to pay a "handling" charge every time you bought something. Or going into a shop means you have to pay a "door use" fee because, after all, doors wear out. It's just like the booking fees, another ripoff.

Some businesses appear to be like the elite executives running companies: "how dare we have to pay for any of our own costs or living expenses?"

Good old global capitalism.
