I've paid several times in bars and restaurants with bitcoin (I go there especially because of bitcoin) and every time I was ripped of.
Every time I paid a premium of 5 to 10% above FIAT price when I paid in bitcoin.

If bitcoin wants to succeed as a payment in bars and restaurants this really has to change.

The reason I did it was to show the experience to friends whom I sucked into the bitcoin sect.

Now I showed it to them all and I'm not going to use bitcoin for these purpose anymore untill the price is equal or cheaper.


Do other people have the same experience?

it has nothing to do with change. and honestly you probably are missusing bitcoin if you are spending it on smaller transactions.
Is 0,2 a small transaction? I disagree.
