I've actually gone back to using cash when most merchants are Charing a 1.5% card fee. Fuck that shit.

Yeah same. I'd be really interested to know what the cost of cash is, my guess is more than 1.5% with the extra effort needing to be put into banking, slower transactions, mistakes and fake notes. Seems like most businesses are just assuming laziness of their customers just wanting to tap.

Or, more likely, want to encourage people to use cash so they can evade taxes
