I’ve noticed that businesses are up charging for credit cards, incentivizing the use of cash. Especially in these mean economic times. Could this be part of the plan to ween everyone off of using credit cards? Cash puts the power back into the hands of the people. Just a thought

Cashless self checkouts are trending up here in Nfld. They don't earn a penny from me.
Walmart started that where I shop and I complained. They now have some that will take cash. You need to make some noise.
The Aldi's in my neck of the woods is down to one register with a person manning it. The rest are self checkouts. I have told the various cashiers at that register, "The day you guys are all self checkout is the day I stop shopping at Aldi's." I figure if enough of us say it, word will get back to the people making those decisions.
You have to ask for the manager. Another thing you can do, is write to the CEO. We had a Dollar Store that started charging 2 cents for a plastic bag that they put your stuff in. Then they stopped. I asked the cashier why and they told me that a lot of people wrote to the main headquarters and made a big stink.
