    Well if everyone did that, they’d have to hire more personel to handle all these check-ins.

    It’s a cost-saving measure that’s passed on to you.

      It’s more the fact that it wasn’t an obvious fee. I can deal with checking-in with a phone, but it would’ve been nice if it had been more obvious that there was a fee if I didn’t. Live and learn

        I prefer not talking to a person anyway though so works for me
