Episode Details

Louisiana’s new debit card fee ban is forcing restaurants and shops to rethink how they price their goods — no more surcharges for card payments, but businesses still need to cover those costly processing fees. Some, like Carlton’s, temporarily stopped accepting debit cards before pivoting to cash discounts after public backlash. Others, like Serop’s Express, quietly absorbed the cost into prices. Customers are split: some say it’s just part of the price of convenience, while others suggest splitting the burden. And if a business gets caught charging extra after August 2026? You can report them — and the state could fine them $500.
