Just wanted to let you all know that even though it is a violation of their contract with mastercard, visa and AMEX, the Camelot forces you to purchase a minimum amount to be able to use a credit card.

I understand that they have to pay a % of the total and a per transaction charge, but they should figure that into the prices that they have marked on their products.

I went in to purchase a game while were were at the cottage, and tried to pay with a debit card (I didn't have the cash with me, and did not want to pay an ATM fee). He would not sell it to me because it was not $15.00.

I pointed the violation out to the person working there, and he said that he knows he is violating the policy, but he is enforcing it anyway.

I just think it is wrong, and people should know about it.
