Wow, does danger ever lurk here! Charging customers for amenities they don't use seems like a nice way of hiding the fact that somewhere, some marketing manager overestimated demand for the unused service, or did a poor P&L analysis. I'm not saying this is how it's used yet, but give it time: it works out to "bad decision" insurance.
