Paying - Tips and Tricks of the Trade

Carl's Jr was one of the first quick serve places to add payment options with Credit, Debit and ATM cards. Most of the major players accept them now, too. But Carl's jumped in a bit early by including ATM functions with their POS machines, essentially making each register a virtual ATM!

This rocks, of course, because we can't always carry enough cash , plus we can combine two trips! However, Carl's did this initially because there is a 75¢ transaction fee for all debit & ATM card purchases.

Smart enough, but not smart enough to fool Chef Jef!

If you pay with a debit card & don't need cash back, always choose the "Credit" option. No fee for credit cards.
