Most certainly, but don't go courting disaster.

The human race has been in this crap since the start of evolution (or creation if you preferr) one crisis or another. In a hundred years who's gonna give a sh!t? For now, in the past and in the future it's adapt and survive. Call me a sheep, fine, I know what I am and what I do. Some call me selfish? You bet, when it comes the my family and myself why not?
You seem to want to fight the seven deadly sins from a chair if front of your computer and that's fine, fight the good fight. But sometimes you get going on a subject and this comes to mind...

You said don't go courting disaster. What are we courting if we keep letting things go as they are now?
SB, my family is the reason I want things to change.
Yes, we are stuck in our chairs in front of our computers for right now. The only way for things to change is if A LOT more people become aware of the problems and more informed of the real issues. I was naive when Occupy started, I should have known what was going to happen. So the next time there are people in the streets it has to be millions of us, not just thousands.
It's the only way that things will get better. Things are going to change wether we like it or not, at least if there are more of us on the same page, working together, the outcome will be a lot more bright.

QUOTE Nope, surcharge is a cost of doing business, plain and simple. When contracts are signed a copy of the fuel surcharge goes with.
If a butcher had to pay twice as much for a cow to butcher would you expect to buy hamburger at the same price?
When the gas station has to pay more to fill their inground tank do you think you should pay the same as you had been?
I've never went to a butcher and paid a "meat surcharge", or a gas station that charged you gas and then stuck in a "fuel delivery surcharge".
As you mentioned, some trash companies do, but even the ones that do it won't slip it in later, they'll tell you the total when you call and ask them. The surcharge will be in the itemized bill later. Even that's silly, there's no "truck maintenance surcharge" or "uniform surcharge".
Only truckers use such language for variable expenses. Not even other delivery services, the pizza delivery guy and UPS man won't grab a calculator and tack on surcharges, like you said, it's a cost of doing business. You get a bill and their expenses are included in that bill: the butcher, the retail store, the electrician, etc.
