Merchants prefer cash as card costs them money.
Usually works with dry cleaners, cafes, etc. Big businesses generally say no.
- OJFord 10y agoFunny, I've always viewed it as a card surcharge rather than a cash discount.
- mavhc 10y agoWorking with cash costs money too, counting, storage, transport, costs to deposit/get out of a bank
- nommm-nommm 10y agoMerchants don't always prefer cash. There's trade-offs to both. If merchants always preferred cash then there wouldn't be merchants who go cashless, and there are.
