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.
Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.
It depends. If the Michelin star attracts more wealthy clients that use credit cards over cash, it's going to be challenging to justify the money you're bringing in.
You could go the luxury "cheap" food route: tacos or burgers costing $20 a plate.
Likely still have cash clientele so you can launder money.
"David Attenborough, beloved narrator to many nature documentaries as well as a fierce advocate of conservation, turns 99!"
Ah. Well another once in a lifetime event hits us.
So that's what striping a drive does.
"These crooked judges, who are never Trumpers, are CRIMINALLY GUILTY! Do you think, I have the best attorneys. They are really smart. They say to me, they say 'Sir, how did you learn the law so much?' You know I passed the bar? I could have been a lawyer. It's true. We have the most wonderful law in the world and these ACTIVIST JUDGES think they are smarter than the American people?! I'm not allowed to say this because, you know, it's not 'politically correct' but you know what I say? They are retards. Not very smart up there. I heard, you ready for this? Many of these lawyers only got into law school because their parents were, you know...DEI acceptance! That's crazy! I will make the legal system proud again!"
This is the only acceptable unsolicited Dick pic that should be sent.
In terms of total global damage, I'm not sure if Trump can hold a candle to Putin.
Though the two are cut from the same cloth.
Same. I refuse to go to reddit to get this question answered but if a refugee can do the needful that would be appreciated.
There was this really sleazy place in Mexico where a lot of tourists go where they only accepted pacos. For context, most places in Mexico tourist areas will accept dollars (and for the most part give you a fair exchange rate). They would point to an ATM across the street and tell you to get money from there.
I did the needful and paid for my stuff and went back to the beach. That evening, I got an alert from my bank saying that my purchase for airline tickets was rejected due to possible fraud. I called my bank and sure enough, my card was skimmed.
I checked the machine before I got cash to make sure there wasn't a skimmer. But it turns out that this scam is quite common in tourist areas in Mexico. The machine itself is run by criminals and they record the details of your card by using the machine.
All this to say: I know cash is king but man, it can also be quite sleezy.
