- Oh. The minimum balance option still exists, but I refuse to keep a lot of money in a non-interest bearing checking account, and even. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 18, 09:39
yeah, I've already started seeing that at gas stations -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:37
The CC companies will never let them do that. It would breach their usage contracts -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 09:36 11

    - Even on the story I saw, a woman pays cash when she gets her manicure as they charge $1 more for cards. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 18, 09:41
    - last week? -- nm - decline Jul 18, 09:40
- well, until they renew those contracts -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 09:37 2

  - 10 cents a gallon at the place in Trenton I used to go to -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:38
  - We have several restaurants here that give you 5% off the bill if you use cash. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 09:38 2
    - I've always assumed that was a tax dodge (possibly to a benefit of the staff, which I'd be OK with) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:41
