Price is MORE with a Credit Card? - No dice!

[tomotomotom]

someone said Texas and 9 other states say it is illegal to have 2 different prices for cash and credit. what are those states, I cant find that information anywhere?

They do pay the same fees. And those fees are built into every purchase. If you pay cash, the store gets to pocket the 3%. If you pay credit, the store sends the 3% to the credit card company.

Also, some restaurants have started the rather obnoxious practice of deducting the 3% on a CC purchase from the tip section, thereby screwing their wait staff. Another reason to tip in cash.
