Both of the women in the store seemed to be watching me like hawks as I picked out a few items. Then, when they came to just under (by $1) their "$10 debit/credit minimum" (which, by the way, is against the agreement that all retailers have with VISA and Mastercard, who prohibit a "credit card minimum") they refused to accept my debit card. They told me with great sarcasm that I would have to pick some more things out, and then both of them looked as though their eyes were about to pop out when I told them I would just be leaving without the items. It's too bad...I frequent the yarn store next door and I could see myself popping in to buy things at Europa as well when I go yarn shopping, but I won't now.
I wasn't going to report them to VISA, MasterCard, or leave a bad review for them online until they both sneered at me when I told them, on my way out, that their policy was in violation of their merchant agreements with their credit card processors. At that point, eh, I think other people should know what sort of shabby treatment you might get if you venture into this store.
