If you lop off a testicle though, they will accept this as payment for a gallon of gas. Testicle! Same as ca$h!! |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Only one testicle? Pretty good deal these days. |

There's a gas station right by where I work that advertises the low price, and in vewy, vewy, vewy small text 'for cash', with a significant additional gouge for plastic. Scumbags. The first, and last, time I stopped there, realised my mistake, I bought $2.00 worth of gas. |

Well, if the price on a barrel of oil shoots back up... It's totally nuts.

There's one near us that offers a 6 cents a gallon discount for cash. Recently, they upped the discount ot 10 cents a gallon. There's always, always a line at that gas station. It has the cheapest prices in the neighborhood, by far. |

I buy all my gas with a credit card, it is about the only purchases I do use a card for, and I noticed one chain charging .17 extra per gallon for crdit card purchases. I was buying 50% of my gas from them till I noticed the extra charge now I buy zero. I buy 99% of my gas from 3 different stations now, I couldn't tell you if they charge extra for CC payments or not. lb |

Visa and Mastercard will cancel their agreements with stores that charge extra for CC. They can get around it by calling it a cash discount though. There was a chinese food store that gave a 14% discount for cash. (the exact rate for sales tax at the time) They were obviously just pocketing the cash and not claiming it. |
