He should give cash discounts. I remember when retail clerks used to ask “Cash or charge?” There are some retail oil companies that give a discount if you use their card. They don’t have to pay a fee to themselves.

Some merchants do that. But technically it’s a violation of their merchant agreement. The bank could terminate the merchant’s account for it.

I agree,,,,but some states now have laws to prevent this, and, the credit card companies will not allow you to do this in their contracts w stores.

Some of the immigrant stores still charge less for cash...but most are prevented from laws and credit card/bank contracts

There are still gas stations all over S.C. that post cash/charge prices (cash is significantly lower).
