I wanted a bag of chips that was only 75 cents but the total was $2.25 just because I used my card instead of cash.

Clearly, they are attempting to discourage the use of cards.</quote> The problem with that is more and more people are moving to cards it seems like. If you lose it, you cancel and get a new one. If you lose cash, sucks to suck. Cards are more versatile, you can use them online and IRL.
