minus-squarelimelight79@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months 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-squarelimelight79@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months 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.
