Those places certianly don't have Amex. For a few years when I had one, that bugged me too, again, because of the utter cheapness of the business owner....but tagging Interac purchases take that to a whole other level, especially for a "convienence" store.
And its not old school stores, this last one was a new franchised convience store that opened 3 months ago in the Plus 15 downtown.
Another place has taken it to another level, where you couldn't buy bus tickets without buying something else in the store...cash or debit.
I respect "cash only places", even in this day and age of convienent payment options, then those who try and nickel and dime you for doing a widely accepted transaction...and I do the same, cancel the sale and find a place across the way who won't penalize me for paying the way I wish to.
