"Fake reviews. They are everywhere now. I don’t even trust Reddit or YouTube comments sometimes because I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s company plants commenting about how great their product is." - ndcdshed https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/qeccku/what_scam_is_so_normalized_that_people_dont_even/

"Unpaid overtime. Any work you can’t complete in your paid hours should be done by an extra employee the company pays for. By doing unpaid overtime you are ‘paying’ for the cost of your time and donating that to your employer. If a company can’t afford to pay its employees for all their time working and still remain profitable they are not a viable business and need to restructure their processes and/or pricing. If they can afford to pay it but choose not to they are stealing from you." - Fraerie

"Anchor pricing. When you buy something expensive, you may notice that the highest prices are the ones you see first. Featured cars on a dealer website are the expensive ones. Three laptop SKUs, but the most expensive version's price is the most prominent one. Regular old high balling during a sales pitch. Whatever the number represents, it's designed to make you think the version they expect you to buy is reasonably priced." - FranticToaster
