<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 24842218, member: 11540&quot;]Retail sales have been my world for 50 years. These were large retail stores. In the early days 80% of sales were cash. When I retired a few months ago, 90% of all sales were credit card and open accounts.</p><p>This change made all retail firms to increase prices to cover the 2% to 3% card fees. These fees come right off the bottom line profit. That&#039;s a lot of money when few operations net better than 5%. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m good with those that discount a cash sale. They save 2% to 3% and pass the savings back to the customer. </p><p><br /></p><p>I try to use a CC for anything I need to keep track of for taxes at the end of the year. I use cash for small stuff and tips.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
