49p Worth of Stupitiy; Credit and Debit Cards Make Customers Happy

So I was doing some DIY for my Wife’s next art show in a couple of weeks and I picked up some stuff from Wickes. What really got up my nose was the £5 minimum to purchase using my card. I wanted to spend £4.77 but I couldn’t purchase my items without finding another 23p. This is a bulk hardware store, almost nothing costs less than a few pounds. Screws come by hundred. In the end I found what my receipt tells me is a Fence Fixing Clip. This is the cost of using my card. What a very crappy customer experience. Did I mention having to go to the back of the long line because of finding another item?
