Did you mean less than?
The processing fees part is throwing me off.
I do agree though, in Japan I'm seeing a lot of credit or phone based transactions , I almost never carry cash now.
Side note: my wallets last longer!
- nxc18 10y agoThere are business owners who for some reason think it is appropriate to stick their customers with that burden. Those business owners are customer hostile and are worthy of neither my business nor anyone else's.
- ISL 10y agoInteresting -- just got back from Japan, traveling in smaller communities. Almost all of our transactions were in cash.
- marak830 10y agoYes while travelling it's a huge cash based society here, but Tokyo/yokohama are really leaning towards cards/suica(the train ticket pre-charge card)/Edi(mobile phone payment system) and such.
- kalleboo 10y agoRestaurants and anything mom&pop will probably be cash-only, but pretty much anything that's a chain (big supermarkets, stores in malls with their own branded cards [includes JR train stations], etc) tends to support electronic payments. I find a lot of places may accept cards if you ask them, but they don't have card logo stickers anywhere or a prominent card reader.
