Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They've started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It's only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that's where we're at now.
On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.
On the other hand, I'm less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.
For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.
There's a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
They could be charging $50 for ad free ON TOP of the $11.99. That's a savings of $50! You should consider yourself lucky! You can't afford NOT to take a deal THIS good!
It's sad that this has basically become a standard. Subscribe to a service, but then you have to pay extra on top of that to not see ads. Are we now supposed to be grateful that products and services we already pay for aren't trying to bleed us for every cent they can get?
