Another scam stations run is a “cash price.”

FWIW, if you use a debit card and run it as debit (bypassing Visa or Mastarcard or whatever) then you will get the cash price and don't need to bring physical money. I'm sure some of the scam is to advertise lower prices when most people will use credit, but they're also charged a 3% fee from the credit card companies, and they're not going to eat that cost, so it gets passed to the consumer.
