I’m at my barber shop and I was just thinking I’m gonna be charged a 2 dollars fee because im using a debit card and im reading a article that says they can’t do this because im using a debit card and it is only allowed towards credit cards
I live in Texas and the hair cut is 22 dollars

If you paid with a Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit, and they passed the processing charge onto you directly (which it sounds like they did) they are breaking their service agreement with the card issuer. Next time tell them you’ll report them to the card issuer for breaking that agreement. They can lose their ability to process that type of card and is something they should take seriously.
Texas also has restrictions in place for passing on those surcharges to the consumer and as I’m not a lawyer I can’t really give you much more info than that but it’s something to look into.
A lot of smaller shops that can’t afford a legal team have no idea that they’re breaking a law or breaking a card processing agreement, so if you do mention it to the shop try not to beat dick about it.
