re: #269 thedopefishlives

I thought processing fees were paid for by the stores offering the credit; Anymouse’s post seemed to indicate that there were fees on both ends, that the store was being charged a fee to offer credit and the consumer was being charged a fee to use it. That seems like an issue, if it’s meant to be the same processing fee.

It is an issue: They’re doing it because they can and it’s not against the law.

It’s not much different than when some airlines started charging for everything you brought on an aeroplane.

For the few people who used credit cards here, they’re killing off credit card business entirely. Even the gas stations here won’t take them now. Cash or cheque only.
