minus-squaresheisstuckintime@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI only see this at gas stations and rural restaurants now in the US southwest.
minus-squarelimelight79linkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day 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.
