It happens on a lot of bills.
Just take a look at your natural gas bill and see the breakout of all the fixed fees. Airlines are the classic examples. Car dealerships (the good old "delivery charges extra").
Tell me/advertise what the fee is that I can be charged, so when I compare I am comparing apples to apples.
Heck, I wish the prices posted in stores included all the tax. Break out how much tax I paid on the register receipt, but when I'm buying stuff I hate needing to add 6% to find out if I have enough cash on me.
