SIR - Has anyone else noticed the increasing number of pubs and restaurants declining credit and debit cards in respect of low-value transactions?
I was always led to believe that such establishments existed to serve the public and accept, without question, payment in any way the customer saw fit, but this seems to have fallen by the wayside.
The premises concerned should, as a service, absorb the bank charges which are no concern of the customer who, incidentally, provides the owners of these establishments with a living and many need reminding of this.
