It fell off for awhile but came around during COVID. It used to account for card back in the day, now AI think gas stations are just running shit under the table.
I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.
Oh yeah you see it a good bit in other cases. Usually just a flat 25 cent additional charge for card, it’s just gas that I think is cooking the books in particular.
I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?
Yep. Back around 2013 when the national credit rating slid down it became legal/not prohibited to do so after a lawsuit.
It’s normal with independently-owned fuel stations. Not so much with corporate chains.
