    Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They’ve started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It’s only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that’s where we’re at now.

      On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.

      On the other hand, I’m less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.

      For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.

      There’s a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
