Comment on How did money work on deep space 9?
SatyrSack@lemmy.one 11 months agomaybe Quark has to pay an energy bill even for using the drinks replicator.
I think this is the main part. Things cost money on DS9 because the energy used to run the replicators is a finite resource, given that they are in such a remote location.

Same reason Nelix is the chef on voyager. Replicators don’t make something out of nothing.
