Everyone pays the same price, but the store makes less on CC transactions, so it raises prices across the board to compensate. </p><p><br /></p><p>If stores could transparently pass through CC costs, so the CC fees were charged directly to the customer, people could make their own decisions on convenience vs. cost. Credit card companies colluded to prohibit this for a long time, and now that those restrictions have been overturned by law, it&#039;s too late to change the policy. Merchants would alienate the vast majority of customers that DO use credit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
