true...many business don't have you pay in full upfront but many do charge a bit in the beginning to make sure you can pay later. They WILL get paid with or without your consent after the service was rendered and they take your credit car info upfront to see to it.

Rental cars
hotels
Movie rentals
wedding dresses (paid in halves or full depending on shop before it's even made)
custom jewelry-I had to pay nearly the full price for my wedding ring before it was put together
