Dear Dumb Store

Posted in On The Soapbox

So I went to Neiman Marcus to give them some of my hard earned cash… I had rang up a bit of a tally and the girl says to me “Would you like to pay with your Neiman Marcus card, American Express, cash or credit??”  I reply, “with my visa” and she again repeats me her list and I say “…. visa.”

As we stand there staring at each other like wild animals, I repeat again in slow motion “vvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeessssaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh…”, to which she replies “We don’t accept that or mastercard.”

I guess I’ll head over to Macy’s or Sak’s.  What a dumb ass store.

Wow. I used to see those Visa commercials and they always said at the end, “but they don’t take… American Express”. I always would think to myself, “Jeez why are they always picking on poor American Express? I mean, everybody accepts Visa, right?” I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I thought Visa was everywhere you wanted to be. That’s what the commercial used to say.

Hey, maybe that’s why those commercials don’t exist anymore.

Er…so I guess Discover would be the “Credit” option. Glad you “Discovered” that…lol. What a weird thing, I know American Express charges more than Visa and Mastercard to use because they have more strict security standards, so I find it odd that they wouldn’t accept the cheaper to use (from a business perspective) cards, but do allow the more expensive ones. I guess they are a dumb ass store.

That’s so rediculous. Two of the biggest card companies…and that store doesn’t take either one? That is a load of BS…

… yeah so what would fall under the “credit” option then??! Geeez.
