I say suck it up sunshine it's the cost of doing business.
There are plenty of posts created that some feel aren't that important, good thing is that if you don't like a person's post, you don't have to read it and you don't need add you high and mighty reply, sorry that this has ruined your day and I hope you don't lose sleep over it.Farken He.LL guys. Apparently we will bitch about everything on here. I get the minor inconvenience, sure! But for farks sake…. Create a thread about it?
Historically businesses requesting cash only was either dodging the IRS so buyer be ware and they were clearly dodging taxes and so were you OR they just flat out don’t trust you. Look at you first.
I get it, we're heading to cashless society and there's nothing we can do about, I'm sure that's there plenty of good and bad associated with it. I also realize that this isn't something new, my complaint is that if one must use plastic, why is there a double dipping for using CC, you're charged an interest rate (if not paid within 30 days) and then you're charged again at POP when you use it. Also, it appears to be up to the merchant on what they want to charge for the fee, I've seen a flat rate of 1$ or as high as 3.75%, I wonder at what point will people really start to complain, when it's 5/10 %?
Yeah......but you could use that bucket as a decorative flower planter for the Summer.That’s ok. I don’t have a backhoe.
Oh, I didn’t lose any sleep, thanks for your concern and my reply was far from high and mighty. Happy to oblige you if needed!
No double dipping on my CC. I can use it as credit or debit with no cost to me. When used as credit it hits my bank just like a debit card. Debit gives me the cash price for fuel. I will not shop at a store that requires a fee for using my card.
) that they will soon stop accepting nickels, and will round prices to the next 10 cents.
Somebody should teach them the rules of rounding !On a slightly different tack, I know of an auto parts store that stopped accepting pennies about 6 or 7 years ago. Every price is rounded up to the next 5 cents.
I was told about a month ago (in a bar, for what that is worth
Canada did away with pennies entirely, a few years ago.On a slightly different tack, I know of an auto parts store that stopped accepting pennies about 6 or 7 years ago. Every price is rounded up to the next 5 cents.

Actual, gold and silver were money long before (paper) cash was invented. The orginal paper bills represented physical gold or silver and were directly redeamable in gold or silver. Paper bills were introduced as a convience as they did not have the weigt and could represent any amount (large or small). The link to gold/silver was ended by the gov. in the 20th century.
Sea-shells and wampum belts were used before gold/silver. So what? The history of bartering goes back long before artificial representations of value called ”money”. You can’t eat gold, silver, or diamonds when people’s faith and use of those mediums are lost. The History of commerce and monetary systems are not the point of the thread, but Alfred if you’re going to try to teach it you should be more specific to define “gov.” and when in the 20th century. I can remember camping in the Lincoln Nat. Forest in August of ‘71 when the news hit that the Nixon administration was cutting loose from the gold-standard of $35/oz. All that did was let GOLD value float…. it didn’t do a thing to change what is used to buy things in America or Zimbabwe.
I will "conveniently" avoid such merchants with "convenience" fees!
Every month that I send in the sales tax, we consistently come up short by a few dollars, because the state says you can only round down, not up and that is the way that the register company programs the registers. Realistically I don't care, because it is such a small amount on the total of sales. If it were not for the customer, we would close our doors. Started in 1973 and this year is our 50th year in business.
Yes, I have seen this pop up now in mid michigan. Very frustrating as they already raised the prices and continue to raise them due to "supply issues". Had a local mexican place near me that didnt even accept cards since I've moved up here, and continued to raise prices to the point where I was paying 24 dollars for a buritto and chips and salsa. The place mentioned is not in a fancy area and really has no competition unless you drive 7 miles into town. There is also nicer very busy restaurants in the city who have raised prices and now are putting a 3.something percent charge if you use a card w/o informing you. I get maybe raising prices a bit on some items, but across the board raises plus a cc fee is overkill.
