\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Merchants are not allowed to charge surcharges when a customer pays by credit card instead of cash. 'A lawyer for Meekey and Fulmer said the lawsuit may be made a class-action.' http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/m...politan/3148829 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Class action suits are my favorite. Where else can a law firm spend $5000 rounding up 150 people so they can sue a company for $10,000,000 and then settle for $9,000,000 on the condition that each of the 150 people named in the suit gets $200 and a coupon good toward their next purchase of whatever the sued company sells. Meanwhile, $8,000,000 goes to the law firm for processing fees and postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I think Bush changed the laws on class-action suits. Or he was going to do so. What a crock that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If someone is using American Express vendors should be able to surcharge. We have to pay 2% per transaction I believe. We have a well known large customer that buys T'Shirts off us and love to pay by American Express (I believe to build up air mileage credits). This really adds up for us because they spend between $200,000 and 300,000 a year. We now charge them an extra to cover off American Express.
