Corporations being corporations and trying to rip off the customer to make the stockholder happy is a constant thing (unfortunately). "Viva Capitalism!", and all that.
But 'We the ~~People~~ Customers' ultimately have the control, we control the purse strings. They need the money in our wallets, and we can decide to give them that money or not, based on how they treat us, as customers. They will try to psyop convince you otherwise of that fact, but that fact remains, and holds true.
Its an endless battle/war, but its a good one to fight for. Then they try something the next time, we push back against it. Again.
