Our life is changing and so do many necessary things. Increasingly, some of them, formerly free of charge, are now sold for money. Here is the list of goods for which we now have to pay for

Additional airline services

Low-cost airlines in our days make the air traveling extremely cheap. However, an inexpensive ticket does not mean that the total cost of the trip will be just as low.

Many additional services of airlines previously included in the ticket price now require additional payment. For example, transportation of luggage, meals on board, pre-registration and choice of place need to be paid separately.

Water in restaurants

Sometimes the cost of glass of water in a restaurant may perplex a client. Previously, you could just ask for water and the waiter brought it at the expense of restaurant. Nowadays, the cost of water will always be included in the general check, even though water is not included in the menu.

Hotel amenities

As in case of cheap air travel, the cost of one night in a hotel can be quite low. But over the past few years, hotels have begun charging additional fees for some services: pool, gym, car parking, room service, fresh press or additional TV channels.

Food delivery

Often restaurants offer delivery of their products for free but only if you have made an order for a certain amount. However, some of them still charge an additional fee for the delivery of the order to the apartment.

Plastic bags in grocery stores

Perhaps you still remember the days when plastic bags in the shops and supermarkets were free. However, these times have passed and now we have to pay for it.

Banking

To check the status of your bank account it was necessary to personally attend the bank's office and this service was always free of charge. Now, in the age of high technology all banks charge an additional fee for their services, such as mobile banking, commissions for money transfers and other.

Sports for children

Ten years ago many children attended free sports clubs. There, children were provided with free equipment and parents were required only to purchase the sports uniform. Now it is hard to find a free sports club.

Today parents must also buy all the necessary equipment for their children to do sports. It is necessary to make a cash contribution for participation in sports competitions.

Online periodicals

In the age of the Internet, when all information is available online anywhere in the world printed newspapers and magazines do not enjoy such high demand as before. Moreover, each edition has its own online versions and in order to have access to the full content you often must pay. This practice came from the West and is actively used by many publications that provide subscription content.
