Surcharges, Convenience Fees… and Why We Don’t Use Them You’ve probably seen them before: surcharges, convenience fees, service charges. They show up on bills and receipts everywhere these days. While they may go by different names, they all boil down to the same thing—extra charges added after the fact. A surcharge is usually a percentage added to your bill, most often when you pay with a credit card. It’s meant to cover the processing fees charged by card companies. A convenience fee is typically a flat amount charged for using a certain payment option or service—like paying online instead of in person. Here’s the thing… Let’s Be Honest We’re moving fast toward a cashless world . Most of us pay for almost everything with a debit or credit card. Groceries, gas, coffee, trash service—you name it. Do you really think businesses haven’t already built card processing costs into their prices? Of course they have. Processing fees usually run around 3%. From a business standpoint, we’d rather take a $100 payment and pay a few dollars in processing fees than not make the sale at all. Those costs are part of doing business—and yes, they’ve already been factored in. On top of that, many customers are paying far more in credit card interest than the processing fee itself. And About “Service Charges”… Once they show up, they almost never go away. Fuel surcharges are a great example. Fuel goes up, the charge increases. Fuel comes down… but the charge stays. That just doesn’t sit right with us. Our Approach at AC Trash Hauling We don’t add surcharges. We don’t charge convenience fees. And we don’t tack on service charges. If our costs go up, we’re upfront about it. We adjust our prices instead of sneaking in extra fees. No fine print. No surprises. That’s how we believe business should be done.
