Simon very well put ,if people are willing to help other people and use there cc machine, to help do that just great.it was a very ,very nice gesture god bless him ..what the hell is 2.5 percent when you try to help someone out in need..it was a win ,win to get it done..it is not like he tried to charge hcb more then his cost. I personly do not eat,in places that charge a extra 5 percent cc charge.think the merchant is not in the real world,I also know this is belize and there country but I would have them raise the price to what they think is fare , and good for them '' but please do not try to add on 5 percent like I am some stupid gringo prey.And all who know me ,know I am not a cheapo ..
