This is a nice store run by even nicer people. The only reason that they are dealing with credit card usage issues is because they were trying to offset some of the fees that they were being charged by the credit card companies in order for their customers to pay with credit cards. Most consumers dont even realize that the credit card companies charge merchants for the "privilege" of accepting credit cards. Why is it ok for the credit card companies to double-dip and charge both sides of a credit card transaction, but it is not ok for the merchant to try to offset these costs by insuring that the profit from a sale is sufficient to cover the credit card companies ridiculous fees? Mind you they were not charging extra fees, or charging too much, they simply asked their customers to spend a certain amount if they were to use a credit card. Its a small amount, too, around $5. Granted, it may be illegal under Federal law to require a minimum charge on credit card purchases, but whom is this law really designed for? The local consumers and the local small business owners? Not even close. It all is designed to fatten the already dripping-fat pockets of the credit card companies. So try to think about the facts behind these issues before reading some b.s. Google Review and forming a grossly misinformed opinion on the matter, Sheeple.
