I gave him a million reasons why charging miniums is bad for business but he absolutely would not listen to what I was telling him. He was belittling me, said 'are you drunk?'. Basically felt like I was talking to a bully in highschool. LOL

So you're right, it may not be worth it for me. But I'm honestly god damn tired of seeing ignorant merchants trying to pull shit like this over on their customers. I'm an honest retailer and I know without a doubt that these shady assholes have an affect on our business.

When consumers have a bad experience with a retailer who takes VISA, and fucks with their policy when it comes to taking credit cards, it makes them less likely to use their VISA with other merchants in the future.
