  • Why not take cards? because the banks (yes them again) charge shops to have the privilige of just having card readers and then sometimes to charge to use those readers

    small business just cant afford it

    (btw this is also why some places charge for transactions under £5/10)

    As i am a scientist i will reference my research.

    ...or i would if youtube let me post links

    Google: "why-dont-all-retailers-accept­-credit-cards"

  • @TheJohnubis: "Enjoy your inflation!"

    It's amazing how by three simple words you manage to imply that everything that's wrong with today's financial and banking system is, somehow, TwinBladeWarrior's own personal fault for living in the UK. Well done, you, for having been born somewhere else.

  • @TheJohnubis AHAHAHA! Your great great grandaddy was a cockney thief.. Enjoy you shit country!

  • You mean you have to have money to buy stuff in a shop? No way!!! What kind of twat uses a card to buy 1 loaf of bread anyway? Dickhead.

  • poor

  • that was a bit fail... sorry beeb

  • @TheJohnubis ... so you think a duopoly comprising Woolworths and Coles is a free market? These two dominate with about 85% of all retail spending in Australia, including grocery, alcohol, hardware and petrol. Free market? Farmers forced to accept piecemeal prices for their produce; bland choices on supermarket shelves (choice of brand for most produced goods has been reduced by about 70% ... and been replaced with the suopermarket's own brands). Australia is no free market, you blowhard.

  • Hmm - I don't get the joke I thought people knew these things. As far as I know in Europe there is a blanket charge of 3% of the money transfered on every card purchase. So a small shop either has to be selling goods with a relatively high profit margin (designer clothes / sports equipment / luxury goods) or it has to raise its prices on low-profit-margin goods. And since small shops also have to pay more expenses compared to overall sales than supermarkets, their prices will be higher anyway.

  • @TwinBladeWarrior Bullshit, I've worked in businesses that corner shop dwarfs. Oh wait I live under a free market in Australia not English socialism driven by massive lending to the Government. Nevermind. Enjoy your inflation!
