I love this sign at Coffee Republic in Launcestion, Tasmania. While other coffee shops have a minima spend for cards and some have a fee for EFTPOS, they have gone the other way, showing off a point of difference and giving customers another reason to love them. Based on their pricing I’d say they are funding it out of a higher than usual margin. But their coffee is the best in Launcestion so the price could more reflect than than to hide their EFTPOS fees.
It’s refreshing seeing a sign in a retail business telling you what you can do rather than what you can’t, a sign saying things here are free where usually there is a sign saying the same things cost extra.
Nice. If you’re ever in Launceston, try their coffee … it’s excellent.
We’ve just dropped our card minimum zero and are expecting extra sales to cver the increase in fees. If wrong we will reinstate it. It was only $5.00 anyway.
So sombody who still uses cash pays more because the prices are jacked up to cover eftpos fees?
To me thats madness.
I guess. Works for them.
