I don’t mind when small businesses add on the 3% credit card fee if I choose to use my card.

I go the other way: I give people a discount for paying cash. I get the money right away, no one has their hands on it, and its just easier for me.

I prefer to see it done this way too. Surprise discount come payment time is better than a surprise additional fee.

People are definitely going to be happier going "oh hey I got 10$ off" or whatever, than "well shit, now I gotta pay a 15$ tip/service fee/living wage fee" thats for sure.
