As for me, I have no problem with no CC. I never carry balance. I however, do like the fact that I use my CC for EVERYTHING, even when buying a pack of gum. Why? I don't have to deal with change. I hate change and can't stand it.

Tho I guess it won't be much difference just paying with my debit card.

like you said it yourself...this fee is gonna be hidden
it doesn't matter if you pay with debit card/credit/cash everyone's gonna get screwed.

Everyone's already getting screwed. This just changes how.

The fee is already hidden at many places. This new will fee will be only for people that use credit cards.
