There are plenty of people that not getting m'lrah mle'eyl correct can make them go off their rockers.

That's true. But I am referring to three day Yomtov's in general... like this past Tishrei.

It's none if your business what he does with the cash (maybe this is more befitting of the ethics thread but if he offers you a cheaper price to pay cash I don't think you have to worry about why... Even if it's obvious)

Never said it is. If he offers a better price if you pay cash, I agree that it isn't on you if he goes on to understate his revenue. Just pointing out that by charging $15 to use a CC (which is illegal in itself), he's making it blatantly clear.

Its been proven over and over that using a card is benefiting the owner as people spend more and easier, ao its in his own good to accept.
He is obviously stingy to pay the 2 percent visa is charging him and as a frum owner (aka cheap jew) found a way to nickel and dime his customer before pesach.

When will they learn ?

I'd say Pesach's schedule this year (in Chu"l) is an OTD-trigger for working people, no weekend/break for three weeks straight since Pesach eats up two consecutive weekends...

Buying a hat for my son in BP and get charged an extra 15.00 dollars for using a CC.

This is just a sebset of the overall bad service/policies in the old-school shops in frum communities. The new-school shops will put them out of business, it's only a matter of time.

To some, it is actually preferable! Doesn't use up their vacation days, no huge amounts of emails when getting back
