Saw a "free trial" booth at the Columbus state fair last August, and the signup tablet had a $79 auto-renew box already checked
I was walking the vendor row at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus last August when a guy waved me over for a free 30 day trial of some meal kit. He handed me a tablet to sign up and the auto-renew box was already ticked, at $79 a month, with the cancel date buried in fine print. I asked him about it and he said "that's just how the system defaults" and shrugged. I took a photo of the screen before I walked off, and two other booths on that same row had the same pre-checked box. My rule since then is I never touch a signup screen at an event, I do it at home on my own laptop where I can read the whole thing. Has anyone else run into these fair booths with the box already checked?
