4 $ a drink loosing money ?Originally posted by SlyYou're going to call Visa and report this guy? Ahaha. You need to find something better to do with your time.
If I were him I would charge a minimum as well and find a way around Visa's rule (which they probably don't even enforce). Taking the processing hit on a $4 drink? He probably LOSES money on that deal.
Who uses a CC in a bar anyway? I bet you don't tip either.
alchool 0.60/0.80 cnd avrg an ounce ... probably 20 cent for wahtever else is in it . still less then a buck ... how can he loose money ?

The cost of a drink is much more than the ingredients. Insurance, leases, alcohol license, labor, processing fee, transaction cost, etc. There are plenty of bars and restaurants that are losing money even though the price per item is well above the cost.Originally posted by Doctor Dre4 $ a drink loosing money ?

I am sure that a Bar has a high charge back ratio, as men that go out with friends and girlfriends have no other way to defend themselves when the wife finds out. So they charge back.PornGuy skype me pornguy_epic

You shouldn't be going to the bar if you're squawking at a 15 dollar minimum

Just because he has some overhead doesn't mean he gets to write his own rules. We all have costs of doing business. Just because someone's are higher or lower in relation to someone else's doesn't give them a justification to screw their customers over.
Anyway, I thought there were more intellligent people on GFY... someone prove it to me please.
Are you insane? You call what payment methods they accept as screwing over the consumer???Comment

Read the thread again, Alan. What I'm saying is that charging miniums for credit cards is screwing over the customers. If they put a VISA logo on their door, that tells the consumer "we accept credit cards as a payment method". Not "we'll take your credit card contingent upon you spending $XX."Originally posted by detoxedAre you insane? You call what payment methods they accept as screwing over the consumer???
Anyway, the problem has nothing to do with me not wanting to spend a certain amount of money. It has everything to do with being required to do so.Comment

Exactly. And it's beyond me that people can't see that.Originally posted by rick702Visa's regs are very clear.. if they don't want to pay the fees for transactions under $15, then they shouldn't be accepting Visa at all.
What gets me is the places that won't take AMX because of the extra 1% fee.. what BS

Small businesses have a tough time as it is with covering their merchant fees ...
Many businesses have a minimum not because credit cards are a hassle to process or anything, but rather because many processors charge a flat fee of around $0.50 or so for each transaction *in addition* to the percentage of the transaction. Small businesses have little to no leverage when negotiating with a credit card processor unlike big businesses, such as Wal-Mart, Target, etc.
It's the flat-rate part that can really hurt margins and thus many businesses, in particular small ones, requiring a minimum purchase of around $10 to $20.
