      Sometimes cash has more power. Lately I’ve been asking if contractors or restaurants would waive ridiculous fees if I pay cash and more times than not they agree to at least reduce it by how much the tax is. I live in a state where sales tax is over 10%

          Hate to break it to you, but that just means they choose the higher of the two.

          If it costs $4 to run a card and $0.50 for a stick of gum, that gum costs $4.50 now and im praying you pay cash
