Q&A | 5 Minutes Away From Being Punched In The Face

Regarding swipe fees, most establishments are paying between 2.7%- 4%. If the fee is over 4% I’m not supporting that establishment. I’m cool paying the cost of the transaction but when I get Vietnamese food I’m not interested in paying a fee effectively to deter credit card usage. Over here some of the best Korean and Vietnamese either don’t take credit card or charge a fee. Most times I eat the fee because it’s usually 3% and it’s usually a top notch place.

I went to my favorite pizza place and they had a 3% surcharge on cards and I informed them that you’ve been paying these fees for the last 15 years you’ve been open so have you been taking losses all this time? I walked out and never went back. I found another very good pizzeria that doesn’t charge the extra fee and never looked back.

A restaurant my gf likes (me not so much, and not because of the fee) charges 5% fee for using a cc. We only go when she really really wants to go. Other places that do around here are less and actually good so idc.
