you do realize that credit card company charges businesses % of their transactions? they literally DO lose money when you use your CC (either a flat fee or a % of the transaction)
in some Based countries (namely Poland) some businesses offer a discount for those who pay with cash, like a few months ago i went to a pizzaria that had a 10% discount to cash-payers
Ya I know that, bro. But it was like a hostage situation where they said they would take a card then at the end of the meal some shady looking guys stood at our table and told us we would "have less problems" or something like that paying cash and that we were trying to "steal from the locals". The iberian white Mexican I was eating with got kinda shook and said we need to empty our pockets so we could leave. This was at a supposedly safe restaurant.
There is also Marxist revolutionary graffiti and slogans everywhere and lots of shit about decolonizing. San Cristobal de las casas if you wanna look it up.
While this is true, it’s Mexico. People carrying around cash are targets for robbery. You can cancel a credit card within minutes. You will not get your cash back.

i totally get that, i wouldn't walk around with a pile of cash in a shithole like Mexico either
hell, i wouldn't even BE in mexico to begin with...
Gas stations in America will do this, giving a cheaper price if you actually pay with cash.
It's very common.
"Cash is King" is the quote, and everyone i know prefers cash
its physical, its without surviallance its basically what everyone likes
the only downside is getting torn or dirty bills, but unless you're trying to exchange Euros to another currency that's not much of an issue...
