Benjamin franklin plumbing

Has anyone ever encountered a plumber who charges $69 just to drive to your home? After that he said I would have to select the service I wanted. (I just needed to have a toilet snaked). The minimum charge to snake the toilet was an additional $200. If I chose to have the toilet removed (WHY WOULD I!) IT WOULD BE ANOTHER $400. I guess I have been very lucky ...I usually call Seely and they come and work for an hour for $75, But they don't snake toilets.
I have to say, I was shocked when the ben franklin guy told me how they charge. Is this a common occurrence with local plumbers?
