As you can see, lots of people don't read those explanations.

Perhaps clearer communication would be beneficial.

You're right! From wikipedia:

The Romani, also spelled Romany or Rromani, colloquially known as the Roma, are an ethnic group of Indo-Aryan origin who traditionally lived a nomadic, itinerant lifestyle. Linguistic and genetic evidence suggests that the Romani originated in the Indian subcontinent; in particular, the region of present-day Rajasthan.

It goes on the rim and hangs inside the toilet bowl, right? That thing is festering with shit particles if so.

What's the current popular term for those people? I thought gypsies was what they still went by.

I see, that makes sense.

I don't really think it's reasonable to expect businesses will do anything to benefit customers though. Right now they have those costs accounted for in pricing, as you've stated. If they are allowed to charge fees for credit card use, they will keep their prices the same and simply add a further cost to the customers using cards. They're not going to lower prices.

I believe your situation will simply result in higher costs for everyone while the business profits more than ever.

I don't really get your complaint in the last paragraph. How are you losing money on transactions?

If people find credit cards more convenient then that is great, but others shouldn't have to pay for their preferences.

It sounds like you're saying that people who don't use credits cards are somehow subsidizing those who do. I've never heard of that before and it sounds wrong to me. Merchants are usually the ones who pay transaction fees, not customers.

I remember when it was coming out, and everyone on reddit was going gaga over how faithful to the story it was.

Then that episode came out and everyone loved it, so as someone who didn't play the games, naturally I wondered if it was in the game, as that had been apparently of utmost importance to the fans.

But merely asking "was it in the game?" got an army of angry people calling me every name in the book.

I never even watched the show because I thought that was just so fucking stupid. Fans ruin every franchise.

Wasn't there a big thing a while ago about telecoms charging credit card fees? I was pretty sure they lost that battle.

It seems unwise to rely on the uneducated masses to interpret things correctly. Perhaps clearer communication would be helpful.

"Wage" is rather poor wording then.

I think it would be a lot more reasonable to expect undocumented issues. They have a lot to lose and it's controlled by a billionaire. As if they're not going to try to cover it up.

And at the hospital through our taxes. At least in civilized countries with healthcare.
