    You guys don’t pay with cash?

    So every purchase you make, doesn’t matter how small, you give a cut to the payment processor? I’d be fucking pissed if I were a small shop selling to you. In fact there are many shops that just refuse to sell if you buy something too cheap through a payment processor.

      Paying with credit raises your credit score which is required as a check for getting rentals or apartments unfortunately.

      Stores sell more product when they accept credit cards. It makes the purchase a lot more seamless. It also helps them track money and reduces mistakes or theft during a cash transaction.

      There is a reason that shops accept credit.

      There’s also a reason why a lot of shops are charging an extra % or two if you use credit. And a big reason why a lot of larger purchases like cars and home renovations do NOT accept credit.
