I would love that but the credit card companies make that illegal and you can get in trouble and have your ability to take credit cards revoked if they catch you doing that
It’s not “illegal”. It’s against their merchant agreement. No one is going to jail over it.
That said, the merchant agreement says you can’t charge more for credit card users. But it doesn’t say you can’t give a discount for using cash. That’s how my parents went around it.
Or do what a few places around me do, and charge an extra 10% if you pay by anything other than cash.
Maybe that cigarette store is actually a money laundering front… 🤔
