The article claims buying drink-by-drink is causing bars to lose money in credit card fees, since the fee is a mere percentage of the bill, it doesn't actually cost the bars money unless the fee counts as a flat rate. They claim more money is spent on these fees since COVID-19, but fail to address the lockdown in which bars made no revenue and therefore had little to no credit card fees to pay. While not political, its concerning that they arent providing accurate/complete information on how the bars are losing money.
