Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content
Blackmist@feddit.uk 20 hours agoWe had a card surcharge ban bought in a few years back. The shops aren’t allowed to charge extra, and unless you’re employing family members or not declaring the cash (and for a lot of small takeaways, it’s probably both of those) it probably works out more expensive to handle the cash.

That makes sense. I wish we had that here, but I’m happy they at least are required by law in my state to tell people about the surcharge.

I guess that Americans are used to seeing charges applied at the point of sale anyway, for sales tax and so on.
In the UK there price on the shelf is the price you pay, and if for some reason it isn’t, then you can guarantee several arguments a day.
