Lol, I already see people complaining. As a business owner, our costs have risen incredibly high on all fronts. So please don't yell at us because our prices go up. This includes credit card fees. Now I don't say we're charging you % if you use your CC. But those fees do get grouped in with all other costs, when we factor our prices. We do need to pay our bills as well folks. And I get why people like to use cards that give points or cash back-I use it for that. But at the big places. Just think about the next time you go to a small business, that you like. Will it bother you that much to pay cash maybe once in a while, if it means that business will stick around?

And do I wish the basics were taught to kids in school. Because it amazes me how many people have no clue that business pay CC fees. Not only to CC companies, but to the processor. And folks debit cards are the biggest problem. The CC cannot get you the consumer, because you cannot use it unless you have it in your account. So guess where the CC goes to, to make up for not getting any $$ from you? The business.

So what you're saying is that you already factor it into the price? If so, what are you complaining about? Do you plan to drop your prices by x% for people paying cash? I highly doubt it.

I won’t be supporting small businesses if they’re supporting this moneygrab while already baking it into their prices.

It’s a cost of doing business, stop complaining or fold then. I’m so tired of small business tyrants whining about this shit.
