Can't believe it!!!

Look like u paid the charge the CC charges them

 

Next time you go to McDonalds in the drive thru--look at your reciept-there s a take out charge on it:censored:

 

I know there is quite a few places in Conway that charges for debit card use if it below a certain amount....OH YEAH that amount is well under 90 bucks, it's usually any purchase under $5.00.

 

:thumb: I agree....the terrorist running that station has to be from the middle east!

 

Looked at mine and they are not charging extra here yet, but I can see it coming.

 

That's a tax, not going to the resturant.

 

I am not sure about being against the law, but I know that Visa/Mastercard will not allow merchants that accept their cards to charge customer for using them. I don't know what kind of card you used but if it was either of those you may get further by calling the card company than the AG.

 

Sounds like a case of .........BOHICA........ and he had ya bent over!!!

never heard of this, but nothing suprises me anymore!!

 

We were in Eureka Springs in November this year and stopped to get gas, there was no sign but after I had pumped about $10.00 in gas I noticed it was .03 higher than advertised, so I shut it off and went inside. When I asked the clerk, she said any credit card was charged extra. I expalined that it was not a credit card, but a debit card. And I was polite too, Until the other male clerk said "well its got a MasterCard logo on it so that makes it a credit card, but we'll gladly accept a check". Then he asked if I could write a check. I told him I don't do business with people like that and drove a few blocks down and bought it elsewhere.

 

IMHO if they can't afford to pay the fees themselves they don't need to take plastic!!!

All they are doing is making people who are already mad about gas prices madder.

 

on a slightly different note, i have noticed that at certain gas stations, if i use my visa, the pump will shut off when it hits $50. if my truck is not full i will have to go through the whole process again to finish filling up. it does not do it at every station i go to though. anyone else had this happen?

 

Believe it or not most stations at the retail level make between .06 and .10 per gallon. If you are in a competetive area you could end up selling for less or even below cost. Most of the credit cards charge 3% on purchases. If you sell a gallon at 3.00 and are charged 3% and are only making .06 you just paid .03 to sell that gallon. Anyone want a convience store?

 

hawgpharm,
different credit cards have a limit on what you can charge to your card for gas. Sometimes on the pumps they'll post the limit on different cards. I think it's a security thing. Like your card gets stolen and several will go to one station and fill up several different tanks.

 

Hawg,
Many of the credit cards have a limit on what you can buy for gas. I think it's a security measure. Say, someone steals your card and passes it around at a pump. I've seen pumps with the limits posted for the different cc companies. My cc use to be $50 but they have since raised it to $100. I guess before long they'll need another hike to $200 maybe even $1000!:smack:
