[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my hair cut last week and the girl who cut it said they only pay taxes on the credit card tips, not the cadh tips, so that could explain part of the cash tips policy.  Also i don't think a lot of people realize how expensive it really is for businesses to take credit cards. They pay a per swipe fee....so you spend $100, they pay 4% to visa, plus another fee to their bank, then you forgot you wanted gum so you swipe you card for .99 cents, when the fee is $1 just for you to swipe your card so now they lost a penny, then you realize you got xx product by mistake (your mistake not theirs) so you return it and they have to pay 4% again o,us the fee to their bank. Seriously people, you're killing small businesses when you use a card instead of cash. Big businesses can absorb that cost because they buy product in larger quanities and get better prices as a result. Small busineses can't compete with that so you go to the cheaper chain store and main street goes out of business. [/quote]

Exactly.

If I knew then what I know now about merchant services, I would have thought twice before offering it for my small business.[/quote]
