That time I double-checked my coffee shop receipt and found a $1.50 'artisanal pour' fee I never agreed to
I was at a local spot in Portland last Tuesday and ordered a plain black coffee. When I got the receipt, there was a line item for an artisanal pour fee. I almost asked the barista if they also charge for breathing the air in there. But I bit my tongue because the place was packed and I didn't want to cause a scene. Has anyone else noticed hidden fees like this popping up on simple orders without warning?

Man that is so frustrating, especially when you're just trying to get a simple coffee. I had a place tack on a "service fee" for ordering at the counter once, and I still get annoyed thinking about it. It really feels like they're just testing how much they can get away with.

My friend got charged fifty cents for "ambiance" at a cafe in Austin last month, crazy.
