One of the things that continues to amaze me is that the Commissioner of the Revenue here in can’t accept credit card payments when they bill you for things. They still make you carry a pocketful of coins. The coins are then placed on a big scale against “calibrated” weights. When the gold coins are piled high enough they say you have paid enough.
Who checks the calibrated weights? Can we burn a witch?
Why can’t this village accept that new technology called credit cards? I guess they are rather new…since they weren’t used until the 1920’s. That is brand-spanking-new-fangled-f*cking-high-tech dude. No way. Show me money says the man, cash in the hand is better than plastic in a groove.
This is what you see when paying a bill in Charlottesville City Hall

Apparently, they used to accept credit cards but charged a small service fee (to cover the service fee that the processing company charged them) - someone didn’t like that this charge was added to their bill and complained so what did they do? Make it clear that they had to charge a fee for the convenience of using a CC? No, they stopped accepting credit cards as a form of payment. Geez.
Trust me, you can drop a load of money on just handling credit cards….
I could easiler replace my credit card machine with a new Lexus for the same out of pocket….
Why can they not use Debit cards cause they do not charge a service fee - least mine does not. hmmm!
BTW - witch’s were never burned in the USA - only hung - burning times were in so-called civilised Europe. Not even burned in C’ville!
Not like anyone really wanted to know - just thought I’d pass on the info anyway
