SAY NO TO TRANSACTION FEES FROM BIG BUSINESS
Big business started charging transaction fees on card based purchases the other week. I find this extremely annoying, I understand small businesses needing to pass on fees they encounter with card transactions.
Big business on the other hand should be awarding us a discount to use cards for purchases as despite the fees it still saves them loads of money if we use our cards. It helps automate so many of their processes from accounting to ordering products and stock levels.
For these reasons I hope South Australians stick it to big business and USE CASH at businesses that charge a transaction fee.
Business has tried this before in South Australia and we all rallied together and they stopped charging transaction fees here. In the eastern states it has been common practice for a long time and their fees continue to get bigger and bigger. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN IN SA.
LET'S SHOW THEM HOW MUCH IT COSTS THEM TO PROCESS CASH
