its a fecking debit card.
what sort of a**would pay an extra 50p for a few groceries? was the way she said it as if it was the naturalist thing in the world to bung and extra 20% onto my bill. robbing pensioners and the vunerable in my opinion cos they cant get to tescos |

Manchester Untied Dave 16 Nov 13:36 I would pass on the 2.5% handling fee. Then again, I would probably have no customers! Yeah, what is it with this handling fee cr@p ? Fvcking banks invented cheques for our convenience then decide to tax people on their use. Complete kuntz. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. Cheques were "invented" by traders to aviod them carying cash to settle accounts. PS I guess none of you guys live in cities. Carrying cash in 2009 is dangerous you know. Hence, a debit/credit card for EASE of payment. I do NOT care who is behind me in a queue just WAIT your turn. |

a debit card has visa on it
visa is the company that makes money from those transactions, do you think an invisible god transacts those transactions via the chip and pin machines for free? local groceries cannot afford to give away transactions on those machines for free, some may, most won't the grannies can take their money from cash machines |

mine says maestro. no sign of visa.
so why is it £10? or £5 that is the limit. i am a customer with a debit card not a credit card. well maybe there is a fee , i rarely use the card , still like cash , you know where u are with that. maybe ill ask for a 50p discount when i spend a tenner in there , ask him if im making him enough profit to enable me worthy a customer in my local shop. |

maestro will take a fee as well(but I don't know how much), it's still a company

reyes is talking about some card in finland you can use without a signature or PIN number
basically a card that has no security at all |
|
By:
well i didnt know that.
i thought it was different as i can only spend whats in my account. everyone just wants to fleece me. bit of milk and bread and that and they want an extra 50p. well if thats the rules so be it ,i didnt pay nor will i in the future. |
|
By:
of course it has security. this isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

stevie_p, the shop would rather have your cash, but you want to use your card instead
so the shop is charged 3% of the transaction so you could use your card................damn right you should be paying the extra 50p shops that don't charge transactions above £10 are doing you a favour |
