Topping up a Leap Card
I topped a Leap Card recently in Spar, Parliament Street, I was charged 50c on top of the €10 top up. What is going on here ?, is this an additional charge by Payzone or Spar. I've topped up in Easons at Heuston Station but I've never been charged anything extra.

This is a shop charge, same as they will add 50 cent for phone credit etc.
Just use the TVMs in future. Costs nothing extra. |

Assuming there are TVMs handy. While I can use a LEAP card on a bus, the nearest TVM that is LEAP compatible is 250km away!
It should be in the T&Cs for LEAP cards that shops don't charge. They see a benefit through increased other sales anyway. How many people also buy a packet of cigarettes, bottle of coke etc. when they top up their LEAP? |

If you paid cash for the top up the agent if forbidden from charging any handing fee.

They may be forbidden but that don't stop them.

Actually I did pay cash and the chap in the shop kept insisting that it was a Payzone charge rather than a shop charge.
