Finally told the pizza place I only pay cash and they gave me a 10% discount on the spot

Been grabbing a slice from Tony's in Brooklyn every Friday for 2 years and he never mentioned the cash discount until I asked last week, now I'm saving $1.50 per visit and he avoids the credit card fee, has anyone else found small shops hiding cash deals like that?

Have you noticed how many places just charge you the same price whether it's cash or card, even though they pay like 3% to process credit cards? I swear half the bodegas and laundromats in NYC are running this quiet scam where they pocket the fee instead of passing the savings to you. Tony's discount is a GOOD sign he's honest. The bigger pattern is that most businesses treat cash like it's invisible - they'd rather you tap and forget than save a buck. Honestly, I wish more places would just put a sign up saying "cash gets 10% off" instead of making you play detective every time.
