Society is failing, and I know why...

Starbucks just let me buy a latte with my credit card. I just took out a loan of £2.70 for an egg-nog latte...

If this is the culture we live in, no wonder there is an impending credit crisis - assuming there IS one, and we're not just heading towards a world where the only problem is that we can buy lattes we cant afford.

What is the smallest amount you've managed to put on credit?

I think the major issue here, is why you were buying an eggnog one, when the gingerbread one is far superior.

Just the way it is... People live "by the month"

Surely the CC processing fee would be a huge percentage of that price?

Smallest amount I've ever put on a CC was £1.99 for a sandwich.

i think the major issue here is why were you in starbucks, spending money you know you don't have, on something thats worth about 50p(if that)

A once bought something on my card for 12 grand, wouldn't normally but hadn't got any loose change on me

[merlin]

Starbucks want to trade with you.

What's the problem?

Something to consider.

I can image the phone card when the car dies:

Err, hi, is that Barclay Card?
I need a chargeback on an item.
About 12 THOUSAND POUNDS
Silence.....

That or the CC processing fee is a myth to 'encourage' you to use a debit card.

If I didn't have £2.70 I'd be selling the Big Issue, like Virii

Card Handling Fee, usually about 3% of purchase price whatever type of card you use.

 

[platypus]

It's strange, but in a way I prefer it to cash.

And wb cbs, but the real issue is why on earth you're buying an egg-nog latte !

Would that imply you've been buying BigMacs on your credit card?

I consider buying low-value items as a form of protest against the corporations, by buying items which are less than £1 from the Tesco DIY checkouts with a credit card, I'm slowly bringing the system down from the inside. Peace and Love!
