It stings to get ripped-off, even for a few bucks. That said, no sane person would sue individually over a $30 excessive charge. Hiring a lawyer and going to court are expensive, and suing for such a small amount just isn’t practical. But, when you and a hundred thousand of your neighbors are ripped-off in the same way, and the company ripping you off is unfairly pocketing millions at your expense, you might feel differently. Class actions are the way for us to vindicate our small claims and to deter such corporate cheating.
