While carrying cash may be inconvenient, it is still the currency of this country, and it should be circulated.
Small business offer the Credit/Debit options as a convenience.
The fees are a sacrifice they take on by offering the convenience, fees often range from 2.49% to 3.5% and are also carry a transaction fee determined by the number of transactions and price range of transactions in a month.
I have encouraged many businesses who have minimums below $10 to go to the $10 mark.
They are not imposing a minimum to make people spend more, they are just trying to turn a small profit by offering the option.
The fees have caused many neighborhood businesses to go CASH ONLY
Rents are not cheap and we need these small businesses to survive to maintain the character of our community and to support many of the business owners of which many call our neighborhood home as well.
