minus-squareahornsirup@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoI’ve never seen a shop have different prices for different payment methods in my life. Is that an America thing?
minus-squarelimelight79@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoNot in my experience. There is a credit card fee, but the stores pay it. I’ve heard of places offering a cash discount for that reason, but haven’t seen it in years. If you paid cash now, you’d just be paying the credit card price.
minus-squaresheisstuckintime@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI only see this at gas stations and rural restaurants now in the US southwest.
minus-squarelimelight79@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoYeah I definitely have seen it as gas stations in the past, I can’t recall seeing it lately. If you remember computer shows, the vendors there would often show a cash price and then charge more for cards. I thought doing that sort of thing was against their merchant agreement though. But maybe not.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoNo, I live in New Zealand, and a 2% surcharge for credit cards is pretty common. EFTPOS transactions are always free.
