So you are familiar with that specific B&M's terms of agreement with their CC processor as to know what their contractual minimum charge is to not have to pay a fee?

I'm also curious where the assertion that the cigar was placed back in the box came from?

I have had a few hemingways that had a sweet taste to them. I attributed it to the gum used on the wrappers.

It's simple. If it's a $10 min., ring it up as a $10 sale. No need in the B&M being a hard ass over .20. As far as him laying down the stick, what do YOU think happened to it? There's a good many B&M's I know would've plopped it back in the box. Maybe all the B&M's you've dealt with have more class than the one's I've seen.

While I do agree with you, this does not address the question, nor does it explain how you came to the authoritative knowledge of what that particular B&M's credit card agreement is.

What I think is that you're simply making blind assertions and painting with a very broad brush.

Could it have happened? Sure. Did it? I dunno, I wasn't there.

Sorry I exposed some people's logical fallacies. Would you settle for the CUT? I'm kind of attached to Lump, the no-legged dog...

Or maybe just nit picking, waiting to jump on someone at any given minute for no good reason. I'm at a loss why you feel you need to be so cross over a simple observation by myself that the clerk could've solved the problem with a simple solution instead of pissing off the customer.

In either of your quieries, it makes no difference about what cc policies are when customer service is involved. Too many times people can't look past the rules for a reasonable solution to serve the customer. It's ridiculous or the story would've never made it here to begin with.

So calling my logic a fallacy when I posit that the B&M was out of line in this instance is puzzling when it would appear the author of the story observed these 2 things take place leaving the question hanging as to whether the B&M sucked it up and took the loss by tossing the stick or plopping it back in stock. Making a big deal over .20 would cause any reasonable thinking observer to see it was more than just a reasonable chance they did just that.
