布拉克观点
价格透明：所见即所得

上个月底，我去德国和法国度假了一段时间。和美国一样，欧洲也面临着通货膨胀和物价上涨的问题——我预料到这次旅行可能会花费不少钱，但我们的体验却让我惊喜不已。其中最让我感到意外的是餐饮。我发现，餐饮价格的透明度非常高，这一点让我们非常赞赏。餐费总是和菜单上的价格完全一致——小费完全自愿，而且只能用欧元支付，或者用信用卡支付时，我告知服务员最终的消费金额。用信用卡支付时，不会收取任何额外的手续费，也不会有“建议”的小费金额让我考虑。在美国，这种价格透明度在大多数地方都很难找到。不过，一些兽医诊所（包括连锁和独立诊所）正在尝试这样做。对一些诊所来说，这是为了鼓励顾客加入会员计划，强调会员可以享受的“优惠”；而对另一些诊所来说，这可能是为了在竞争中脱颖而出。在通货膨胀和成本担忧加剧的经济环境下，透明度比以往任何时候都更加重要。.

Last week we asked you to share a time you took a big risk in your business career and what the outcome was- a common theme was making a job change within the animal health industry based on the outcomes there was no regrets in the action taken.

This week Christine talked about price transparency and unexpected add on fees so we want to know which unexpected add on fee “irks” you the most?
