I can’t wait to hear when and IF they implement a surcharge for credit card transactions.

I seriously doubt they would.

Today, my wife bought a cookie at the Darlin's Sweet Shoppe @ Sawgrass Grove. I guess it was a "Gourmet" cookie because it was only 3" to 4" in diameter but cost $3.00. Also, she had to pay with a credit card because they do not accept cash. When my wife asked for a receipt she was told that she needed to give them her email address. All this in a Retirement Community.

$3 for a 4” cookie sounds good to me. Looking forward to checking the place out. :coolsmiley:

Simple, dispute the charge, not hard at all.

This would mean the employees did not enter the email address in the software, canceled the lower amount, and then re-ran a higher amount without the card present. I doubt the software would even allow that. If it did, the credit card company would have a record of that activity which would be evidence in your favor.

if there was a glitch in the software that caused this I am sure it would have shown up in hundreds of transactions before the cookie company even opened and would have been corrected by now.

A lot of credit card errors are from duplicate charges. But, if the merchant cannot produce two receipts, the dispute is validated. I don't know how you can dispute a duplicate charge if you accept a no receipt policy.

I have never ever had a duplicate charge with an email receipt. This is the wave of the future!

You have a very expensive sweet tooth

I went today. Had a slice of carrot cake. It was delicious, very moist, with a cream cheese frosting (which is really the only correct frosting to have on a carrot cake).

It was also way too small for the $8+ they charged for the slice. A terrific treat, but not something I'd do again. Winn Dixie also makes a delicious moist cream-cheese-frosted carrot cake, and it's only $4 for the same sized slice.

They do provide a receipt. It’s emailed, not printed. Sooooooo difficult I know.

When my Wells Fargo Visa Credit Card (not debit) saw 2 identical charges within a minute of each other a couple months ago I got a notification, text & email asking me if I made both and if I did not to reply NO to the text notification (or call). The charges were correct. CitiBank does the same IIRC from a few years ago. From what I understand it is up to the SELLER to show 2 SIGNED receipts even if you don't have one. Yes, you do sign the terminal with your finger in most cases.

We had charges on Amx, that we didn’t charge, so no receipt. Had no problem with the charges removed

Darlin's makes all their confections in-house. You can stand there literally watching them make them throughout the day.

I don't know where Winn Dixie gets theirs from. I just know it's delicious. And I buy it by the slice because it's an occasional treat, not a staple of my diet.

WOW seven pages on demanding a paper receipt for a few dollar purchase. Wonders never cease. Please stay home so i'm not the unfortunate person waiting behind you as you raise a fuss for a silly demand. Make your own cookies.
