    ? Weird take. Cash is the legal tender. Credit Card is a slippery slope that gets people to overspend and extort fees. Cash is still highly used all over the works for daily transactions, even though google and apple wallet exist. Not every vendor wants MC/Visa to have a 4% cut of their sales either .

      I don’t mind covering CC fees to avoid the hassle/danger of cash when I’m traveling and in general tbh.

        Sure but some vendors don’t want to pay MC or Visa the skim % they take from profit, so cash is sometimes preferred

          That’s what I mean. I’m happy to cover that. Bunch of small retailers have a notice that there’s a 3% surcharge for CC transactions. Well worth it for me.
