As fewer people are carrying cash I'm curious to what is the smallest EFT transaction is.
Mine is $1.10 at Macdonalds for a cone with a flake.
What's The Smallest Amount You Have Put on EFTPOS?

I was going to say this ^
ING customer?
$0.01 - self-service checkout.
What a gratuitous waste of money!
I would've paid with cash.
About 5 cents, and they refused, at a dodgy asf dominos Wollongong.
I had the rest cash, and wanted to pay the last 5 cents owing by card. Very rude staff member acted like I was trying to steal the pizza or get off without paying. Walked out without pizza and made complaint to head office.
No offence, but why would you do that?
spend the coins
I was down to my last few dollars at the time. But had just enough for my pizza, apart from the last 5 cents (and had 50 cents in my card account).
you obviously couldn't afford to buy pizza at the time
@[Deactivated]: I obviously could, and chose to buy pizza with last money I had at that time.
Dominos can be very cheap, $3.95 for a large pizza, is cheap even compared to making yourself.
It was wrong that the ryde store worker refused to accept the last 5 cents payment on card, or they could have just said not to worry about the last 5 cents, since they were refusing payment.

The supplier have right set the terms for a transaction which includes the payment method. The customer then have the choice to use the that payment method or not proceed with the transaction.

It being legal, as you claim, is irrelevant and doesn't make it right, nor change the fact that it eas terrible customer service. Hence the 2 x free pizza and 1 side offering when head office found out what 1 minimum wage counter worker decided to do.
Also they lost the pizza, so would have had to throw away that. Just plain stupidity and poor customer service aptitude on that 1 worker's part. Some people simply are not suited to working with people and/or customer service jobs.
Also I have been overcharged 5 cents many times by domino's. Not recently, as I prefer and can afford much better pizza now. But when I was a regular, they often run out of 5 cent coins and/or don't bother giving you your 5 cents change. Ie. A pizza would be $4.95 and give them $5 note, then they don't give 5 cents change. Happened to me many many times. If they are going to do that, then it should go both ways, or just accept payment in any form (even small amount on card). And if the eftpos service costs them money to do that 1 transaction which makes it not viable for small amounts, then they should just wave the 5 cents. I doubt it costs them money per transaction at domino's to run eftpos. Most likely it is like the bank's scam they pulled on us for many years charging exorbitant fee just to withdraw our own money from a different ATM . Kudos to commonwealth bank for stepping in and veing the first ones to wave that bullshit scam of ATM fee $2.50.
A local chinese restaurant charges $1 for eftpos. I call BS on it costing them $1. I will lend my mate cash to save him getting ripped off on the $1 there just to pay by card. (1 of my mates never has cash, its his way of saving by leaving it in the bank/card).
complaint to head office.
Don't keep us in suspense, what happened?
We all know the poor bugger at Dominos HQ said "Oh ffs", but what did they say to you?
The case is being brought before the Super Supreme Court after being dismissed by the Food Court.
It's the vibe of it.
Given voucher for 2 x free pizza and 1 x sides
Good result. Did you use then at the same Dominos hoping they'd get knocked back?
I only do $5 at big stores like woolies, maccas. Never at small local family stores unlesz Im desperate, its just a jerk move.
Most small independent stores have eftpos minimums, I'm not sure if it is a jerk move I believe eftpos are usually a % amount (around 1 - 2%).

1.5% is typical these days.
Some deals have a fee + %, so it might be 30 cents + 1.5%. The 30 cents can be painful.
Also depends on the type of card, so a credit card might be just a %, while debit cards may be fee + %.
$1 when I went to Grill'd and they forgot to charge me for dipping sauce.
I had to eftpos $3.99 at the chemist yesterday and they looked at me like I had just crawled out of their rubbish bin.
It's funny, having moved from Sydney to Brisbane this year it feels the opposite. People look at you funny when you pay cash up here.
I once had to pay 1 cent online, electricity company could not issue final bill due to a 'rounding error'
Must have spent $100 of their staff's time and effort explaining it to me instead of writing off the $0.01, issuing my final bill, and closing the account. Go figure…
I put everything on eftpos. Maybe a 20c chuppa chup from 7Eleven?
