I'm sorry, I can't stop envisioning you licking the whole cigar with a puzzled look on your face

There is a crappy b&m by me that I avoid at all cost. I ran in there Christmas Eve, and a customer put the cigar in his mouth inside the
the humidor. I began to watch him. He goes to pay for it, she tells him 9.80. As he hands her his debit card she tells him there is a $10 minimum to use a card. He says ok and asks her to charge his card $10. The woman tells him she can't and tells him to buy some crappy cigarillo on the counter for 1.00 to get over $10. The guy declines. Puts the cigar on the counter and walked out.

Nasty!

I would say the B&M got what they deserved. I've charged many cigars at many places that were less than $10 and was never asked to spend 10. I agree, it's nasty because she probably put it right back in the box knowing he had it in his mouth.

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.
