This blink-and-you’ll miss-it Easter Egg in Better Call Saul’s SLIP episode foreshadows Saul’s preferred credit cards in Breaking Bad...and reflects this show’s great attention to detail.

When Jimmy and Marco are leaving Jimmy’s father’s former shop in SLIP after retrieving the container of coins, the door has 1970’s era logos for Master Charge (re-branded as Master Card in 1979) and BankAmericard (re-branded as Visa in 1976). Years later….Saul highly prefers Visa and Master Card when explaining payment options to Badger in Breaking Bad’s BETTER CALL SAUL episode. Seeing as how that kind of corner shop likely had purchases that were on the smaller side (e.g. “ box of Ivory Flakes and a sixer of Old Style”) and as how credit cards in the early/mid 1970’s were generally marketed to a more upscale crowd for restaurant and travel-related purchases than to folks who would shop at that kind of store, it is a bit odd/unlikely that this shop would have accepted any credit cards, which suggests that the logos were intentionally added as Easter Eggs.

EDIT- look closely as its kind of dark and also see section I enlarged.
