    I agree, the shop gets paid commision for every transaction they handle. Phone up and report him, he is just ripping people off and its the pople who can least afford it.

    The shops must already make money on this as otherwise they wouldnt be doing it. Dont pay,report it.

    Not received one at my local store this is how I pay my quarterly bills.

    Is this the same system in use in post offices?

    The system in Post Offices is slightly different although some cards/tokens can be used in both.

    You won't be charged (by the Post Office) for transactions you do there.
