what do y'all think?

Think spud is on the right track, same charge for the same work, but the cash customer gets to skip out on additional service fees.
Not sure if I would post it in a sign... maybe tell people when they leave the machine that there are additional fees to cover the use of credit cards.
Pretty sure most people understand that the merchant is subject to extra fees, I mean, we all buy fuel....
For me, when I go into a small business, I volunteer right off the bat that I will be paying cash, and have no need for any receipt.
Most small business owners love that...
BTW... lemme know if you ever come across a Walker 42" GHS mower deck.... I'll pay cash.
