My barber won't take credit, only debit or cash.

Credit card fee's most likely.

Its mostly that, but its also the chargeback happy people. Not saying there's not a time and a place for that, but its rampant when it shouldn't be.

Probably and I'm perfectly fine with cash or debit only. Screw credit. Just hurts people in the long run

Depends on the person.

If you’re using credit because you don’t have money, then you’re doing it wrong. Credit only hurts people that don’t understand this.

I put everything on my credit card. I also pay it off every month. So it’s only helped me.

At the cost of people who use it the other way

Depends, my autopay discounts were on Privacy cards, which I now can't use. So losing a $20/mo discount becuase no way in hell will I give an actual debit card # or checking info to a company that's going to lose it in their next breach, nor can I control or cancel them at will.
