We stopped at the Chevron Station just east of Goldbar Washington. The sign said Diesel, Cash $3.89, Credit $3.99. I filled up the truck, took about 40 gallons. Went inside to pay with Debit card and I was charged $3.99 a gallon. I asked for the cash price and I was told that 'cash" now means cash money, folding money, No Plastic!Paid the $3.99 price but felt like I was ripped off for the four buck difference. Just a heads up, don't know if ALL Chevron stations are doing this now.Travel Safe...

Been that way around here for a long time, cash means cash, no matter what brand is on the station.

Would you take a Debit card for say,an item you sold at a garage sale - I wouldn't.

I thought the choice was cash or credit. it seems to me that credit cards are credit? what would cash mean if not $$$$ folding money?bumpy

When did you come out of the cave? Just kidding. It's been that way as long as I remember. Cash means cash.

I don't see any problems. The stations advertised a cash price and a credit card price. Since when does a credit card transaction = cash?

I'm starting to see signs saying, "cash or ebit". The ebit meaning debit or credit.

After reading these replies, I see that most people have NO idea the difference between credit and debit, OR the cost to merchant difference. Educate yourselves and then you too will see why the OP complained about not getting the cash price when he paid with a debit card.

If you pay with a debit card, the merchant has to pay transaction fees to the card issuer. If you hand over some dead presidents, the merchant deposits those on his next bank run and avoids those fees.
