Tax is because the money is being routed to a local florist and I guess $21.99 is FTD's cut. Somebody's got to pay for those AdWords.

I think I was pretty clear that I wanted to brighten my mom's day.
The point I was making is how they slide that "service charge" in at the last minute. After you have went through several pages of giving them info and even filling out the little "I Love You" message that comes with the flowers.
That's the genius of it. You are thinking it's $29.99 And they deliberately make you think that until you are at the end and you are emotionally invested. THEN they hit you with the "fees" and "taxes" (even though it's on the internet and is supposed to be tax free, though I have noticed over the last couple of years that nothing is anymore...I used to buy all my music gear online, and NEVER paid taxes on any of it. It's why I bought online instead of my local dealer...not anymore)
They don't tell you up front that there is a fee. You go through the entire process and THEN get screwed at the end.
This isn't about your notions of how much coke I may snort in an evening or whatever you think you know. It's just my observation of how they nail you in the ass for money. And how clever it is.
Could you imagine the screaming on GFY if an adult paysite were to do that?
Hmmm...now that I think of it, maybe I should!
Make my join page 4 or 5 pages long and have them answer a question on each page ("Which scenes do you like most? Anal or vaginal?") and fill out their credit card info and everything and then the FINAL page would be a "Submit Your Order" page which would then let them know there is a "service fee" of $20
Hell yeah!
