Popular food delivery apps are charging customers sneak fees of up to 24 percent of the cost of their order - almost doubling the price in some cases when tips are added.

In February, the government pledged to crack...

First off, the last part of my title. I lost my pay. I didn't lose my job, but my investors pulled their money from my pay to pay someone else they felt was more important to pay. Either way, I'll deal with that later. But here is the skinny: I had to take an emergency flight to say goodbye to my father, who I am very close to. He's got Cancer and it will take him soon. The chemo has ravaged his mind and his body and I was called across the country to say goodbye. Upon my return, my...
