- steelframe 2y agoBetween the Massachusetts Right to Repair Act and requirement to accept cash (Part III, Title IV, Chapter 255D, Section 10A), that state is looking more and more like the right kind of place for me to land once I'm done doing the FAANG thing. Convince me otherwise.
- astura 2y agoThis isn't really true for Connecticut, because the law allows for a "cash discount" which is functionality identical. https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Legal/Credit-Card-Surcharge https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Legal/Credit-Card-Surcharge >Connecticut law prohibits a business from charging a customer a surcharge for using one payment type (usually credit card) over another payment type (usually cash). However, the law does allow a business to offer a discount if a customer chooses to use one type of payment (e.g., cash) over another type of payment (e.g., credit card). Receiving the discount is not the same as adding a surcharge. As long as the discount policy is clearly written and presented to the customer and the final receipt shows a discount, it complies with Connecticut law
- naniwaduni 2y agoAt least it requires them to be honest about what they're charging, I guess, which is more than I can say about the CT DRS.
