Eco Fees!!!!!!!!

While I understand the need for Environmental Recycling Fees....don't you think it would make more sense that these fees are based on the price of item rather than the item itself? I ask this only because we were at WallyWorld tonight so I could purchase an alarm clock. I had a great score (or so I thought), an alarm clock, marked down to $5.00. Great deal wouldn't you say? I thought so....until I went to the self serve check-outs. First after I scanned the UPC code, there was a system prompt, sooooooooooooooo had to have someone come over and help me (which they were NO help by the way...."I don't work self serve") only to find out this prompt was to see if I wanted to buy an extended warranty plan on a $5.00 alarm clock. The cost of the plan? $8.83!!!!!!
Eight freaking dollars and eighty three cents for a warranty plan for a FIVE dollar freakin clock.
But wait...there's more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition to the $8.83 warranty offer....there is a NS ECO FEE of $3.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Three f'n fifty! I couldn't believe it...$3.50, $3.50!!!! So, had I accepted the warranty and add in the eco fee - it would have cost more than the bloody clock. Needless to say...I left without an alarm clock...BUT, we did get a Steak and Cheese pizza....whoohooo
