Subject: Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?
I think the customers of the business "giving away" free electricity pay for it by paying a little bit more for everything else the business sells. There are few truly free lunches.

Who pays for the 3% that VISA and MasterCard, and the 4% that American Express charge for the convenience of using their plastic instead of good ole’ reliable cash?

Businesses use a variety of strategies to attract business. Not every customer gets treated perfectly equally. Some days I buy milk, only to find that there was a coupon in their app that would have saved me a dime.

Oh well. If this is the big objection I suggest you look around at all the other ways you are being gypped. I suspect “free EV charging at a movie theater” will rank somewhere below #100.
