I find it annoying. So here's my remedy. I have a few vendors that do this to me. So I am happy to write them a check. Costs me a stamp. They can pay someone to receive, open, process, and deposit my mailed check. Then they can wait a few days for it to clear. These are all processes that cost them time, effort, and some money. Then they can take their "convenience fee" and shove it up their darkness.
Technology is NOT everything it's cracked up to be for sure! Everything has a fee if not multiple fees! It's just 2.99, but how many thousands/millions of people are paying that fee and what's that total?
