Guys,

I went to fill up at the pump and handed Mohammad "Real Name Tag." I did not notice that it was 10 cents more per Gallon to use a Credit Card! I read the receipt and I almost LOST IT! Oh, and not every gas station is doing it!

I didnt realize that gas stations were still charging different prices for gas based on cash/debit/credit. Credit card companies charge x% up front on every purchase. Dollars the merchants have to eat for the privilage of taking the credit cards to sell their goods. Thats why they take on a nickel or dime a gallon if you used credit.

If you ever wondered why they ask 'credit or debit' when you use your MAC card anywhere despite the fact the money comes out of your bank account no matter what, thats why. The fees.

It pisses me off that the damn gas industry can do what ever they want when it comes to setting gas prices and there is no regulating it [mad]

NO ! other industry runs like this [wallmad]
IT'S TOTAL BULL SH!T !

Can you imagine going to pay for a gallon of milk at your local grocery store and because your using your debit card the store tacks on an extra .75 cents [confusedagain]
IT"S PURE BULL SH!T !!! [mad]

You knew it when you signed up to except credit cards ! That is a line of crap [down] If you think it's not fear then don't except credit cards point blank [confused] Maybe they should charge a little extra on delivery days as well to help off set the delivery charge and pump down time.

Pretty strange how no one else charges credit card fees except the gas industry [down] [confusedagain]

Many businesses use the processing fees as part of the cost of the product they sell. Therefore you are paying for those fees whether you know it or not

and because the credit card processing fees those businesses pay are factored into the cost of goods being sold, they are passed on to the consumer whether you're paying cash or credit... so in reality the gas station is actually giving the customer paying cash a break because the cost of gas is not being marked up to cover the credit card fees unless the customer is actually paying credit.

This practice was in place for years. It only went away a few, maybe the last 10 or so, years ago.

When I have to buy gas I simply pay cash at the station charging the least for it.
Not much else one can do. [mad]
