Daylight robbery is a term used to describe something that is so outrageously overpriced or overcharged that it feels like a theft. But there are a number of alternative phrases that convey a similar sense of being ripped off. Phrases like 'highway robbery' and 'outrageous pricing', as well as 'extortionate charges' are widely used. Other synonyms include 'rip-off', 'rip-off pricing', 'exorbitant fees', excessive pricing', and 'high costs'. These phrases all convey the same sense of it being unfair or unjust to charge such high prices, and that being a victim of fraud is just as likely to happen in daylight as it is in the dark of night.
