Used to be it was against the terms of service to pass the fee on to the customer, it may still be that way but they don't enforce it.
Yes, it is used to be that way. At one time only gas stations were exempt (as long as they advertised it as a cash discount and not a service fee for electronic). Big Oil always gets its way. Now anyone can do it and they can call it a fee or surcharge or whatever they want. I just roll with it because, convenience.

Plus paying in cash might get you a silver dime in change like I got last week. A 1946 Roosevelt. I made $5+ on my 85 cent beverage.

Nothing beats free silver!

I exclusively use cash and I got crap back in change for past few years. I got a nice lustrous red AU 1982 few days ago - interesting but I released it back into the wild. lol

What happens when there's a huge cyber attack? Or when the govt goes rouge and want to watch everything you're spending your money on?

I'm in China and they're trying very hard to get rid of real coins. The 1 RMB coin they changed the size of it in 2019, made some smaller ones for that year and 2020 and they haven't bothered making any more since. So the largest coin being produced is 5 jiao, which is worth a nickel and a half.

They're very much in the "we want to track what you're spending your money on" territory.

Given my occupation, I will have bigger problems than needing to buy something.

They already watch the people spending cash on the millions of cameras here. I know this because we have sold them many of these cameras.

You think going cashless is the thing that will break us? We are long past the breaking point.
