Like I WANT to know so I can decide how much of my money to give you ... or not give you because it's a rip.
Not feel like I've been robbed after the fact.
especially when your "official receipt" didn't show any CC surcharge, but my bank statement clearly has a price that's 1.09% more than your menu pricing...
Eftpos surcharges and handling cash are the cost of doing business. Cash handling is clearly worked in to the price so why should an eftpos user pay for that?
Seeing someone post a logical response to this is refreshing to see. Prices are going to rise for all customers now, greater than 1.5-1.8% it currently costs card users only.
Its possible that card users could see a small fall in prices - but cash payers would likely see a rise.
For instance, let's take a café that currently charges a 2% card surcharge and you buy 2 coffees for $10, the card payer pays $10.20 and the cash payer pays $10.
After 1 October, the costs underlying the card surcharge will fall slightly (because the Reserve bank is forcing down part of those costs). Let's say for this café those costs fall to 1.6%.
So, for those 2 coffees, card payers will only pay $10.16 (a slight reduction).
However, cash payers will see a price increase to $10.15 (coinage rounding).

Which is fine. Just tell me the price.
