i can't speak for other places but that doesn't happen where i work.
what does happen, though, is if you pay with a debit/check card, the
bar adds a dollar to your total. it's been explained to me that the
charges from the credit card co.'s are much higher on debit cards.
people raise hell about that all the time. personally, i think it's
rather shitty. if someone buys 1 beer ($4) and pays on a debit card i
can kinda see it. like the minimum purchase amounts at most c-stores.
if someone has run up a $70 bar tab, then i think the bar should suck
it up and eat the cost.

anyone know more about the higher fees for debit cards? i'm curious how
long this thread can stay alive.
