Broseph, their intent is to discourage this practice and that's definitely what a $ charge will do. As you can see, they also mentioned only during off peak hours, and having a system allows them to cap the number of people doing it.

This is a mitigation step as they attempt to compromise between two of their core customer demographics. Ragepost moar, this is a smart move on their part

Lmao what part of my comment was raging. I was just pointing out something about the situation that people might not realize. Not every comment on the Internet is written angrily.
