Sometimes cash has more power. Lately I’ve been asking if contractors or restaurants would waive ridiculous fees if I pay cash and more times than not they agree to at least reduce it by how much the tax is. I live in a state where sales tax is over 10%
I’ve even found credit card fees being anywhere from 3 to 10%. Even more wild in places like coffee shops or convenience stores where it’s a flat $4 fee. So I paid $8 for a flavored drink and they add $4 on top of that. But no fee if using cash.

Where the f do you live that they can charge $4 for using a card?? My state doesn’t allow charging different prices for different payment methods
Hate to break it to you, but that just means they choose the higher of the two.
If it costs $4 to run a card and $0.50 for a stick of gum, that gum costs $4.50 now and im praying you pay cash
Oklahoma and goddamn sure fuck do here.
