FAP? I thought FAP was something one did in private.
Concerning tipping. I always tip on my card. Much more convenient than carrying loose cash.
But now more and more restaurants are adding a credit card fee if you don’t pay cash. I always reduce my tip by the amount they charge for using a card.
Am I the A-hole?
Look. I get that credit card processing is costing retailers millions of not billions of dollars annually. But these fees are a normal part of doing business. So why are restaurants the only ones adding this surcharge? Why don’t they factor in this routine expense into menu prices like everything else?
Look. If restaurants stopped accepting cards, they would soon go out of business. We are fast becoming a cashless society, like it or not. We have to learn to adapt.
Or just stay home.
