@3AWNeilMitchell Couldn’t agree more, Neil. The discussion needs to be held. Forget partisan politics and ideologies. Just talk about it in a mature adult manner. We’ll only work out whether it’s right for us or not if we discuss it without propaganda and hysteria.
@RudiEdsall The whole surcharge thing pre-supposes that it costs nothing to process cash. WRONG. Just think of the time, risk and mistakes that can occur when the merchant accepts cash. Not saying that cash should not be accepted. Just that surcharges are unjustified.
@Neroli_Meadows It assumes there is no cost to the merchant for accepting cash. What about loss of money, fraud, time taken to deposit etc.,etc. The loss of one five dollar note would equate to bank charges/merchant fees for a sale of $30 or more. It has become a rort.
