Compared to you guys I'm getting off easy. When I joined it was $5 OR 10c/bird, whichever was greater.
Two years ago I was informed, AFTER they were finished, that the fee had not only doubled from $5 to $10, but it was now $10 PLUS 10c/bird. Still not a lot of money, but a huge inconvenience, since I was out of checks. I had the $7 I was expecting, but the tester couldn't break a $20 - had zero change, even though collecting money is a big part of her job, so I had to dig in drawers, pockets, cushions, etc. to come up with $10 worth of coins! I should have refused and told her to bill me.
Then last year I was told that the enrollment fee of $50 they implemented a few years back (there wasn't one when I joined) would now be an annual fee, plus the $10, plus 10c/bird. Oh, and they no longer accept CASH, only checks or money orders. I was really tempted to make her wait while I make the 16 mile round trip to the PO, but it wasn't worth the bother since this time I had checks.
Who knows what they'll hit me with this year, but I'm about done with them...
