I just said i didn’t mind, if a mom & pop business asks for a minimum of $30 in purchases to use a credit card, I don’t get my panties in a twist. If I don’t like the policy I shop elsewhere. These are usually stores I frequent often that provide good prices on their product to make it worthwhile for me to shop there. This policy helps them provide good value to their customers. I get to keep my $3.00. Why pump up your prices to lose customers to give to the cc companies?
I understand what you’re saying. I think I may be talking apples to your oranges. I grew up buying from merchants who had a minimum tag, in general it didn’t bother me, unless I had to buy $15.00 of food at the chinese restaurant. Growing up in my age, cash is less convenient.
