Also presumably cutting off all support for Saudi Arabia until they implement proper religious freedom including for converts from Islam and atheists.

Cockpunch to the sales manager in a Blackpool main dealer who tried to levy a 2.5% surcharge on a new (to me) Honda car because I paid by debit card. Waived the levy when I stood up, thanked him for his time and also for wasting mine. Where the fuck did 2.5% come from, any charges to the dealership are no where near this, money grabbing cunts. ( I did get a good deal though ) eventually, without paying the hundreds in %age charge.
Wierd, I pay for all my cars in full straight off a debit card and have never been asked to pay any additional charges?
Same here, I think he got âmixed upâ with a credit card. Dealers often accept ÂŁ2k or so and then charge typically 2.5%.
Unfortunately not, the 2.5% was levied against the debit card, they stated that credit cards were not accepted, just as well as I donât have one.
Even accepting ÂŁ2k or so than applying 2.5% is not acceptable, it would have added several hundred to essentially a cash sale.

Never been asked to pay additional charges in the past myself and never heard of the practice until yesterday.
I think thatâs because on a credit card they get charged that amount by the bank, which they donât if itâs on a debit card. At the auction they charge 2.5% on all credit card deals.
Graphic designers who like to use tiny text in pale colours against pale backgrounds - white on yellow, gold on light green, and in one delightful case pink on slightly different pinkâŚ
And then there are the fonts - illegibly spindly sans serifs, horribly Roccoco fake scripts⌠horrifying, a cockpunching is the least of it.

Surely hiding details of the horrific amount of foo involved was part of the design brief?
Oh god no - itâs ALL about the Foo! 
The unimaginable, inconceivable horror of this.

I used to fly with Southwest a lot. They were cheap. They never took anything seriously. Like there being no reserved seating (just turn up and youâll get a piece of coloured plastic which identifies your boarding group - early, middle, late - the early group board first, then the middles, then the lates fight over whateverâs left). Or the cabin crew organising gambling among the passengers while the plane passed through Nevada airspace. They were great ! And did I mention cheap ?

A card processing company punting for biz have just quoted me (before any haggling)
Debit card 0.35%
Credit card 0.8%
Chances are a garage, putting through fewer & larger ÂŁ amounts, could negotiate even better than that.

As I thought, the Honda main dealer was really attempting to take the right royal piss for a debit card. 
I have to revisit the dealership and undoubtedly will be asked â how things are going '. I hope the showroom is well stocked with potential customers to hear my remonstration. Life can be fun. 
Loads of companies hit punters with the old card surcharge routine.
What a nice addition to their bottom line it is.
Did a PX in April with Sytner BMW, Leicester & it was an utter total shambles.
The finance director couldnât add up and the sales guy was beyond useless. Ended up sorting out the finer financial points for them.
Then they messed me around with the 1st service booking, at which point I went straight to the top & let the sales director have it.
Got directors box tickets for 3 at the King Power Stadium as a result.
But Iâll never go back. And they aint getting the servicing either.
They give rabid dogs a good name.
Girlfriend left her camera on the plane on the way to Amsterdam tâother day. After many phone calls and registering details on websites we track it to an airline lost property company. Thatâll be ÂŁ27 to post it back from Bishops Stortford please.
