Sun City West reader not a fan of retailers’ 3% credit card fees

OPINION — A small local retail shop here in Sun City West has started charging 3% for credit card transactions. When I was told, “several other places are doing it,” I got a little upset about my purchase.

Was it really worth it? When I got home and started thinking more about it, I realized that most of the larger grocery stores and big box stores do not charge 3% for credit card fees.

I’m not even sure why restaurants charge extra; they should just raise prices a little more. I understand businesses need to cover costs of insurance, utilities, taxes and rent, but so do we!
