So now we have to pay for doing RyanAir's work !?

I have for a long time been aware, that you can never rely on RyanAir's adverts for cheap tickets, because they have allways been very creative with fees and charges on top of the ticket price. But now they have invented a new fee for us doing their work, which is over the limit in my world !
Yesterday I was happy to find tickets for £ 0.79 one way to Denmark. So a family of 4 could fly to Denmark and back for £ 6.32 seemingly, but even without booking any suitcases, the total price ended up in £ 325. So the ticket price says nothing, hence the difference from ticket price £ 6 to payment £ 325 !
One of their fees in the price breakdown was £ 40 for web check in. I couldn't chose anything else in the booking proces, so now I have to check in online, to save them the work of processing me in the airport, and yet there's a fee for me doing their job. It should be a discount !
Another strange charge is £ 40 for paying with credit card. You can't chose any other paying method, and the fee is £ 5 pr. person pr. flight, even though you book 4 tickets two ways in one booking, and therefore only one credit card transaction. So really, it's not a transaction fee, but an extra top on the ticket price
I ended up buying the tickets anyway, but as soon as there's an alternative to RyanAir going to central Denmark from Scotland, I would any time choose it. I absolutely hate this dishonest way of marketing
