I believe that what Barry says was the old reality.Perhaps, but Cash/Credit for gas dates back to before I moved to Florida in 1981. Even Further Off-Topic, isn't "debit" supposed to be "cash"? Why do I pay the Credit price for it?
I think part of the problem is there's no uniform answer to these observations. I remember news reports with videos of cash/credit signs at gas stations saying these were illegal (well, violated their contracts) but no one was enforcing it, an urge to get attorneys-general in on the act since non-uniform contract enforcement could be a violation of some sort of commercial laws or grounds for a civil suit if an injured party has standing. Or maybe some gas companies had the leverage to get exceptions written into their contracts, etc. They're just contracts, they can say anything as long as it's legal. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
