many smaller places here charge an extra fee if the transaction is under $5 or $10 and the customer uses a cc/debit card, so it discourages those small transactions too it seems
checks, though, it seems to me are mostly used by senior citizens and in some specific payment situations. I know many businesses charge a convenience fee if you pay a utility bill via internet, I know, insane, nevertheless, so peeps end up writing out check and snail mailing that. The convenience fee is just a shitty way of getting more cash from a customer.
