Smith's grocery will no longer accept Visa credit cards

[Wellstone ruled]

4. That I am aware of,

it is the principle of not excepting a certain charge Card. Worked the Grocery Industry for more than five decades. People do screw up and if their Debt Card is not accepted,well,they rely on their Credit Card.

BTW,observed this today at our Costco. The Lady ahead of us had used her Debit card a several Business's and her Card Security Agency blocked it after six uses until she calls the 800 number. Meanwhile, her Credit Card cleared with no hassle. My Spouse and I stepped up and offered to cover her bill,and after a brief Conversation,we figured why her Card went sour,and asked if she had her phone with her,and she checked it,sure enough,their was a Text asking her to verify that it was her at Costco. Meanwhile she was able to use her Charge Card to cover her bill.

And at our Neighborhood Smith's,their Customer base are Retirees and young couples. Been there and seen embarrassment as well as frustration when a simple screw up happens. Nothing more embarrassing for a Customer to leave a Cart Load of Groceries left behind because of a human mistake.
