| My car broke yesterday. Apparently the pcm chip went bad. I had to be towed to repair shop. The shop told me I could save a few bucks if I paid the tower myself rather than them pay him, because they tack on a few extra dollars (35.00) hahaha. So, I asked the tower if he took checks. He told me no checks, cash or credit only. The cash price would be 55.00, the credit price would be 65.00. I was talking to someone today about this and they told me that was illegal. Can someone tell me if this is true? Can they charge 2 different prices for the same service?? |
Cash goes in-pocket, credit goes in the books and taxes have to be paid. Common practice amongst smaller businesses, but highly illegal. |
