Do you pay more than your $1-for-Mr-King to do this? I.e., is there a
service charge of 25 cents (or whatever) debited to your credit card
account? Or is that absorbed at King's end? (I'm not sure how it's done in
Oz, but I buying stuff in stores by card doesn't cost the purchaser more
than paying in cash - it just holds up everyone else waiting in the fast
service lane as the would-be-purchaser keys in the PIN number three times
incorrectly, and the card is checked for felonious use, blood type, number
of toes...)
