I’ve seen “cash discount” before. once or twice, in the past... say 30 years of shopping.

I saw it a week ago at a gun store. 2% discount for cash. I'm guessing 2% is what they were being charged by the credit card companies.

Don’t forget gas stations.

I’m more optimistic than most here that we might start to see cash discounts at more places, especially Mom & Pop places.

That used to be quite common at the gas pump. I haven't seen it in years as retailers just bumped up their prices to include the card processing fees. The only ones getting screwed are the hardcore, cash only customers and you don't see them much anymore either.

We have largely become a "cashless" society.

There is a store near where I live that has two prices on each item, one for cash and one for credit.
