every business loses money dealing with CCs and debits, its around 30 cents per transaction plus 3-5 percent of the sale depending on the card. we are a small restaurant and we end up losing a nice sized house payment every month in fees. Price of doing business I guess, but it sucks. It is funny that people come in and say "well if my dumb ass carries cash around I spend it all", Ok, so you have a card on it with a 5000 dollar limit at least right, do you spend all of that?
