    If you think that, you’re exactly the kind of fool the credit card companies prey on

      Yeah I’m such a fool for paying off my card balance every month and taking advantage of cash back programs. I should be smarter and pay with cash so it costs me more.

      Well if the business is raising its prices on all products because of card processers then you would be the fool paying for it without getting the 5% back.

      They get their money mostly from interest rates and other means. It doesn’t mean stores don’t occasionally raise prices because of processing fees but that’s not part of some grand conspiracy.

          What? Nothing you said doesn’t change the fact that what you think is happening isn’t.

          I truly don’t even understand what this is trying to say.
