Reply to comment by drunken_assassin in ELI5: Why is it that, at some gas stations, it’s cheaper to pay with cash instead a credit card? by tgjj530

Though I guess there must be some sort of control since the station is depleting its stock of gas, so it's not like they can order more gas and say they didn't sell what they had... (or can it?)

Which is a different case from doctors and dentists who'll only accept cash or charge more for any other form of payment that is not cash (including the ones that don't have fees).

Conveniently, I wrote a handy-dandy tutorial er..uh...answer to a question about money laundering earlier this year that addresses supply-chain management and other money laundering tactics.
