[QUOTE=roob1;2271853]What is your take on surcharges and convenience fees applied to credit card sales in Florida? Just paid one today, and noted that Sumter County applies surcharge to tax bills paid by credit card
Let's face it, Credit issuing is a business, whatever the traffic will bare probably applies. After all these years, doubt people will ever return to a cash society.. but of course who knows what world might look like in the future. A chip planted directly into you that records you bank account balances ? Meanwhile, our "politicians" know where most of these companies are headquartered primarily in Delaware, and could make it illegal IF they wanted to, but doubt there would be any "will", CC companies probably heavily contribute to both political parties, who would want to chop down the golden money tree ! We "could" try to resist by paying in cash as much as possible, but that's really inconvenient to impossible in some places. I've read of people who protest additional charges if having to put property taxes on their credit cards... they get thousands of dollars in pennies and take them to the tax office. Enough days like that, and any surcharges "might" be eliminated. I have lived in counties where taxes can be paid via cc with no "surcharge", the country appreciated the quick, easy, process as it saved them a great deal on $$$ opposed to the paper work and recording and human hours needed to process and record cash and checks !
