Saw this sign at our local pizza place last night. Does this mean that nothing is actually the price shown on the menu???

I think it means you pay 6% more if putting it on a card.

So you still pay 97% of the charge if you pay by cash?

In the US, it never is...

Yeah, I haven’t been there in 17 years but I remember clear as day being super annoyed at the plus tax bullshit. I like surprises, just not at the store checkout

Not a US thing…it’s how credit card companies make money. You may be confusing this with sales tax. I think this is referring to the charge credit card companies put on the vendor isn’t it? In most cases the vendor just eats the 3%. In very few industries, usually where the mark up is very slim, vendors give a cash discount to avoid the service charge they would get. I don’t think more than 1% of vendors do this.

Wasn’t sure if this sign was supposed to go in the kitchen or bathroom

I was talking generally (not these 3%) - tax, tips... you never pay what's written on the menu.
