@buhssuht they lose money because the credit card company charges some stupid fee to have a card swiped even once. Simple answer: CC companies don't need to charge a fee to have a card swiped. Don't you think they charge enough interest and finance fees to get their money's worth out of us stupid Americans?

from a convenience store's point of view, paying credit card for just about everything is...unprofitable, it actually make it lose money. and also not many places want to accept checks because so many people pay with their check when they have no money in their account whether they know it or not. If they knew it and still does that, those people are nothing but theives. I'm not saying you are, but it's because of those people that makes other people look bad

Who cares about convenience store prices. You pay more not to deal with long ass lines and a humungous store that you get lost in. That Trish lady is a bitch and totally fake. She's only saying that so that her boss will give her a raise and shit.

So what. Credit cards are for convenience. I pay the bill in full every month and I charge cheap things because I don't feel like driving to a fee-free ATM and pulling out money, and hardly any places take checks nowadays.

This is redic. 7-eleven did this in Australia and New Zealand and now customers are footing the Bill. Search "Convenience Store Cashier's Pants on FIRE!!" and find out the truth!!!

Looks like they will have to decide one way or the other, eh? This silliness has nothing to do with government. It's just another ordinary business matter.

When the UN issues a proclamation condemning credit card fees, then we can all worry about whether humanity should have a right to charge things at a convenience store.

If the Credit Card companies increase the fees all these stores/businesses will have to increase the prices for their products. Not good for the customer.
