Meh, you lost my business already, and I'm not quite sure this post reflects that you get it. Offer me a pallet of drumsticks and we might be back in business.

Discounting the ass (ie. the law) I would think that ethically a shopkeeper is entitled to make their own rules about what they'll accept and what they won't as long as the signage is very visible, clear and positioned properly.
It would be a nice goodwill gesture to cut someone a bit of slack on "first offence" with the credit card rule, especially if it's 2.5 x the law. It would be annoying to go out cashless and then find out you can't pay, even though legally you're entitled to. Still, talking about a "pallet of sticks" suggests that the OP's vibe might not have encouraged goodwill.

I think he got it just fine. You're the one who does not get it.
I deal with people like you all to often. Somehow, someone has ruined your life and the only way to make it up to you is to give you (and you think you are entitled to) way more then you deserve. If it takes a pallet of sticks to get you happy you are lying. Even if they offered you the pallet you would be telling everyone how you bent them over and you still wouldn't do business with them. Just saying.
Take the mans apology, take the mans offer and move on with your little self.

A good businessman would never have let this happen. In this business climate he cannot afford to lose even 1 customer like this. He does not lose just this 1, he loses anyone that finds this customer credible.
I think we all know the transaction should have been allowed because of the rules for transactions but, IMO, the transaction should have been allowed so as to not lose a customer. Even if the profit margin took a hit. It is better to make a little profit than none at all and lose a customer. Without customers there is no business.
As the mayor pointed out, the store policy is not in compliance with the rules for transactions. Maybe it is time to review the rules and bring the store policy into compliance and train the staff on the need to satisfy every customer who walks thru the door.
That's nothing. Try Steve Weiss sometime. Everyone knows you get rude service even on the phone with them. They pretty much have the classical instruments and print music side monopolized (only because of their large on hand inventory). At least if you're looking for drum set stuff there are lots of other choices.

That's pathetic. When i have come across a minimum card payment it's usually something like £2.
For me this sounds good. Thank you Dennis
