Does your clinic charge a technician fee for nail trims and anal glands?

My clinics nail trims are about $20 and anal gland expressions are $26 and then a tech fee is $22. In the past the managers never charged a tech fee for those things but now that I'm manager, the doctor is wanting the tech fee applied because it takes 2 people and our time and usage of product. But clients that have been coming to us before we added the tech fee get upset about it so I feel bad charging them sometimes, it's mostly the clients that come in monthly to have these things done. I'm wondering if this is a normal fee added to these procedures and also maybe some advice on how to deal with any upset clients.
