Screwing customers over would be if they slipped the charges in without notice and you didn't find out until you got your visa statement.
I have a favorite convenience store close by. First time I went in after they started charging a minumum they told me at the register when I tried to make a purchase under that amount. Now when I know what I want is going to be less than that they lose my business to the store across the street.
If the bar has the minimum posted or tells customers before charging the mininum when their purchase doesn't meet it, I agree with others that said either find another bar or since you had an engagment there either don't drink or take some cash with you. If it was a big event you probably would have spent well well more than $15, I bet anything if you had nicely asked they would have run a tab for you all night before turning in the total in to Visa.
Not saying it's
nice or even within the rules for them to charge exhorbant fees, but you
do have options.
