Cash back with cars.
Yeah, we should be teaching people you get "paid" to take out a car loan. That's responsible.

The sleaziest practice - one I used to run into regularly but it's far less common now - is the "oh our credit card machine is broken" scam. Taxis, now thankfully defunct outside of NYC thanks to uber, used to be the worst offenders.
I've also run into shady practices at some bars / night spots where the staff is clearly aiming to steal from drunk people. Blatant overcharges, double swiping, non-itemizing receipts so they can stick in fake charges, etc.
One thing that isn't "sleazy" as much as just annoying is the hiding of resort and other fees from hotel prices (to some extent similar things happen with airlines). I don't consider it sleazy since everyone knows about it, but really not including a mandatory fee in a price should implicate some sort of false advertising or false representation issues.

This thread has potential but it's off to a fucking pathetic start. Some very bad ones:
Inflated as FUCK maintenance and repair fees in any lease or rental situation - charges are pre-authorized and there is little way to fight them after assessment.
Strippers getting dudes blotto and running up booze charges on them, or really any strip club putting charges on a credit card. Lol @ 50% of people having balls to admit they were there.
Upcharges in any context where the consumer is ill equipped to understand what they are agreeing to. Auto repair is the worst. What the fuck is a potentiometer? I don't know, and everything seems fine, but apparently I am FUCKED if I don't drop a grand on This.

any sort of "fee" from student activity fees to processing fees for tickets to administrative fee on utility bill
all these fees are just a part of the principal cost

What now? Accrued vacation/PTO is considered wages in CA and can't be subject to a use it or lose it policy. Companies can cap accrual.
Per the DLSE:
Q.
My employer's vacation policy provides that if I do not use all of my annual vacation entitlement by the end of the year, that I lose the unused balance. Is this legal?
A.
No, such a provision is not legal. In California, vacation pay is another form of wages which vests as it is earned (in this context, "vests" means you are invested or endowed with rights in the wages). Accordingly, a policy that provides for the forfeiture of vacation pay that is not used by a specified date ("use it or lose it") is an illegal policy under California law and will not be recognized by the Labor Commissioner.

law firm headhunters. i had one yell at me when i didn't take a lateral offer that i was never too enthusiastic about (and i made it known from the start) and was subsequently mailed a package full of dogshit that i suspect was from him.
then you have that lateral link guy on atl trying to convince people not to go in-house with baldfaced lies only because it plays into his business model.

Some organic food (sometimes the produce is nicer, a lot of the time it is total flame).
Printer and HDMI cables - Big box stores take a loss on the TVs and printers to sell you $50 cables.
"Accessory kits" stores sell with cell phones with some crappy pleather case and extra charger cable - Boomers LOVE these. Probably keeping all those mall stores alive.
"High end" prole clothing like Banana Republic - shit is made in the same factory as Old Navy for $3 and built to the same shit standards. Why waste the cash? Either go all out for legit stuff or save your money.
Expensive Vodka. "Ooh it tastes like nothing! So smooth!" One of the biggest prole scams out there.
"High-end" dog daycare - They make it look like Fido will be romping around happy with 2 best friends, but he goes into the kennels in the back room 5 minutes after you leave.

Vets requiring shots every 6 months to kennel your dog. If you try to kennel and don't have the shots, they will let you stay there if your dog gets the shots at admission.
This is bs on 2 different levels:
1. Dogs don't need vaccines anything like that often.
2. Even if they did, they let you board if you buy the shots on admission, even though it takes several days at least for the dog to develop antibodies in reaction to the shot.

Electronic key fobs for cars. Fucking $300 for a piece of plastic with a RF transmitter? VWAG is the worst with this. Oh, you have enough money for an Audi, yours is 2x the price of the VW one even though they're IDENTICAL. Bentley used the same fobs too, bet they're like $1500. Oh and please hand over $150 for "labor" so some Mexican grease monkey can program it in 2 minutes.
Should be criminal not to allow 3rd party ones like you can get for garage openers and any other kind of remote.

My bullshit meter is pretty sensitive after being law school scammed. I still am frustrated by these:
Car repair or "regular maintenance." -- anything other than oil changes is a scam. Modern cars can go well above 100k miles without the bullshit tranny or radiator shit they always try to sell. Most money I spent on my car was a set of decent tires 25k miles ago, going to drive them for 90k.
Vet care -- how does a 0.7 oz tube of dog medicine cost $60? I need to be a Merck shareholder. never take my dog in for regular visits unless he has something wrong with him and it hasnt gone away for 2 weeks on its own.
"Water bills" -the vast majority of the cost is keeping cubic feet and pressure to hold up your system and sewer. Your monthly water usage barely moves the dial.
Changing the furnace filter religiously every month - bullshit.

Florists upselling brides and pitting women against men.

I found this and thought it might help paint the picture (no Pun intended)
Picasso is sketching at a park. A woman walks by, recognizes him, and begs for her portrait. Somehow, he agrees. A few minutes later, he hands her the sketch. She is elated, excited about how wonderfully it captures the very essence of her character, what beautiful work it is, and asks how much she owes him. “5000 francs, madam,” says Picasso. The woman is incredulous, outraged, and asks how that’s even possible given it only took him 5 minutes. Picasso looks up and, without missing a beat, says: “No, madam, it took me my whole life.”

thank you baby jesus. I was SOOOOO outraged all day yesterday. i made sure to scream from the rooftops how wrong that article was and made every attempt to make it known to the company, the vendors, and the world.
what many couples don’t understand is that they do NOT hold all the cards. They are NOT interviewing US, or doing US a favor by giving us work. In fact, i say this often, we have just as much control, if not more, to say NO to a couple than they have. If they are not a good fit for us, we have the power to decline working with them.
i can appreciate couples working with budgets. but this is why my pricing is clear. i do not need to spend time on couples who clearly have no intention of paying X amount and intend to haggle. they need to move on to other vendors, NOT negotiate. You wouldn’t tell Picasso what HIS work is worth. You wouldn’t negotiate with the COUPLE to only work half of their ceremony, eat during their first dance, and only edit a portion of the images.
