Yet another plea for proper micropayments that don't gouge payer or payee. Even Patreon has been going down the tubes in this regard. I still fondly remember the original flattr. Couldn't someone, somewhere, please reinvent that.

@jeremycherfas in New Zealand we don’t have to wait for micro payments for the gouge .. here you just need to wave your card to pay at the till .. and the touch less device adds on the vig .. this is not the same as adding a credit card fee .. they add that Seperately

.. no this applies to debit cards as well .. the only way to guarantee to NOT PAY A FEE at time of purchase is to use a debit card and insert it .. and key in your PIN number.

@JohnPhilpin Wow. That seems like a lot of greed. Do they offer any kind of justification?

@jeremycherfas I haven’t heard one and when I complain the locals just shrug and say what you going to do? The banks do have a very bad rap round here. That said, I think think it is store decision, will see what I can find out .. because it is bloody annoying.
