-Enough people are either not very observant or bad at math that it doesn't matter what the station charges, which is kind of pathetic.

Sadly, I suspect it's the latter.
I'd wager that a large portion of the business is one-time customers who vow never again. Still, MCO is likely busy enough that they can keep their doors open as new people continuously make the mistake.
