Yes, I'm sure everyone prices it in. I'm not suggesting that business owners are stupid enough not to do that. I'm suggesting that 2-3% of our expenditures shouldn't be handed over to the banks. Finance already steals enough of our money. Voluntarily giving up cash contributes to their continued success in doing so. 2-3% on every transaction is essentially a sales tax that only benefits a very few people.
