- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I've never seen a shop have different prices for different payment methods in my life.
Is that an America thing?
Not in my experience. There is a credit card fee, but the stores pay it. I've heard of places offering a cash discount for that reason, but haven't seen it in years. If you paid cash now, you'd just be paying the credit card price.
I only see this at gas stations and rural restaurants now in the US southwest.
Yeah I definitely have seen it as gas stations in the past, I can't recall seeing it lately.
If you remember computer shows, the vendors there would often show a cash price and then charge more for cards.
I thought doing that sort of thing was against their merchant agreement though. But maybe not.
No, I live in New Zealand, and a 2% surcharge for credit cards is pretty common.
EFTPOS transactions are always free.
