Fair enough, but they DO pay the fee, and then they pass it on.

In some cases, Stewards absorb the fees they pay to OES. In others, Stewards

I think you are saying you just want it rolled into the price and forget
about it? I am definitely the opposite. I would rather have it as a bullet
point on my bill. Gives me something to hold up and bitch about later if
something goes wrong. I know where I bought my TV (Leon's), they made a
point of telling me about the program and fee (I was prepared and knew
already) and they gave me a pamphlet as well. That's miles ahead of what we
did for Californians years ago when I worked for a computer-sales call
centre.
