Show Notes
Effective October 6, 2022, merchants may now add a credit card surcharge of up to 2.4% when you pay with a credit card. Will they? Or will customers revolt and boycott stores that charge the extra fee? Are we all going to switch to cash? How will this affect our budgets? And is this even fair to the consumer? Ted Michalos is back to discuss and offer lots of practical advice. Tune in.
