Hmm... isn't the credit card transaction fee usually about $3?

I have never once paid a fee for using a card to buy pizza. Is that a thing where you live?

No, stores pay the fee to the provider (MasterCard/Visa/American Express/etc) for processing the transaction. This is why you see those little signs that say "minimum credit card purchase $5" or w/e in smaller shops, because if the transaction is too small they lose money on it.

You might actually inflict $2.50 in losses on the location for processing a single transaction for a $0.50 sauce cup.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
