Bars that have $10 minimum for credit card purchases are fucking stupid
 

Not that it's ever an issue, but it's asinine.

I went to one with a 15 dollar minimum and had the worst hangover of my life the morning after

it cost businesses money to run cards. not really asinine just good business.

15 is a bit much though.

6 dollars is fair enough, anything above that is asi9. I wonder what the legal limit is, if there is such a thing. I don't think I've ever seen over 15 bucks.

It also costs businesses money to pay employees to count a drawer at the end of the night. In short, it costs businesses money to run a business. How is this my problem?

I just don't like being told what to do. The $ amount is completely arbitrary.

It's like saying "we don't want your business unless your business is over this dollar amount." There's a couple bars I won't go to anymore just because of this rule. It's the principle. If the transaction fee (which is, at the most, what - 50 cents?) is such a blow to the business, why not be cash only? And it's not like the drinks aren't marked up anyway.

This is not my problem and it's infringing upon my rights as a consumer. I thought we were working toward a cashless society?

it's $20 at beauty bar.

agree drunk4 lyfe

how can you walk out of a bar with having spent under 10$... Unless you're a chick of course

slunken I think Karl just called u a bitch

yeah, I went there

It's called reading comprehension.

Whatever man. Why I gotta comprehend what a BITCH say [/sam Jackson

You're that guy who asks the bartender to change the channel on the TV aren't you?

there's a tv in your bar? what bar is it? a chick bar? LOL!

Yeah. And I only drink wine coolers

i was wondering the same thing.
or do you have to pay for every drink/round separately?

Guess what bars don't really care about you if you spend less then 10$, they kind of consider you a waste of time.

It's the cost of 3 beers at a cheap bar, if you not going to have more then 3 drinks bring cash with you and don't waste peoples time having to stop and run your stupid card then wait for you cheap ass to sign for it.

You're going to asshole bars, and you going to this bar makes you an asshole.

that's exactly what it is and it's wonderful. keeps the riff-raff out. we don't need your kind here

credit cards are for pussys

fuck bars i should have more money than this

I bring out the card to pay as I'm ordering my last drink, that way I can drink it in peace. 9 times out of 10, I'm waiting on the bartender.


I've actually found that the bars that need to enforce this rule aren't exactly the classiest joints.

Businesses can do whatever they want. I'd have a high limit because credit card companies steal so much profit on small purchases. Cut out the middle man scammers.

.

I guess my main point is why is it only bars? Can't think of any other businesses that feel a need to do this.

Many diners and small stores here have caps between 10-20. An entire small local burrito chain only accepts cash. Use an atm and get cash.

This.
