i know. it sucks. i saw a couple of stations that are doing that.[down]

 

yea a lot of stations have been that way for a while though

 

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.

 

Gas at the docks is $4.58 a gallon!!

 

I was in PA last weekend and it was 20 cents extra for using a credit card..Unreal!!!!

 

I own a small business and if you ever want to help any of us out pay with cash or never use AMEX they kill us with processing fees.... I mean up to ten percent....you try losing ten percent of your income it gets really hard

 

they kill us with processing fees

Thanks for pointing this out! [up]

I dragged mine to the gas station a month early to filler up and will top off w/ a 10 gallon can every time I go,gotta' love that 2 stroke engine[up]

 

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]

.Paul , 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 also if you dont allow people to use credit cards your business will probably shut down ...plastic is used probably more than cash now a days

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]

 

i do 80% in credit cards vs. cash in my restaurant

if you really want to vomit i paid over 50,000 dollars just for the right to accept credit cards and have them processed[wallmad][wallmad][wallmad]

 

thats why they charge two different prices for cash or charge

 

Tell you the truth I never look. I just bend over say go ahead then when its done curse them out and go away sore.[hihi][hihi][hihi]

This is all a rape[mad][down]

 

hows the joke go ..Put some porn movies at the pup so I can watch someone else get f**ked while sanjay is f**kin me

 

I was at a party yesterday and someone there mentioned that she was pissed when she was handed the receipt and it was 10 cents more a gallon. This gas crisis is starting to get ugly.

Wow, when I had my store the set up was free.....

 

The place by my work in Robbinsville NJ does that. Garden State Gas. Their prices are still about 30 cents a gallon cheaper than what I pay by my house in Newtown PA. 4.19 a gallon for regular. You know it's bad when the car companies are offering free gas for a year. 10 years ago that would have been only a 500 dollar benefit over the course of a year. Now it's thousands.

yes the set up is free....but to use it is very expensive....LOL

 

Only thing we do different for CC sales is make it nothing under $10.00. You must buy at least $10 to use a CC.

We have to pay a % on all CC sales to the company. If someone wants to charge a % or more money if someone uses a CC they have every right to do so. It is the shopper that has the choice the use cash or CC not the other way around.
