When I managed an optical shop I hated it when people wanted to charge $1.20 for nosepads on a credit card. Come on. We were set up to have a basic transaction fee that was about a much as that $1.20. When all was said and done it would have been cheaper to just give them the nosepads for free rather than charge it.

I was wondering about it costing more when charged as a punch in rather than a swipe but figured it would give the store owner some security to have it charged already rather than hold something and then get a no show.

Like GSEclipse I am at a point in my stocking plans now where I have a pretty good idea of what is still missing in my tank and am less likely to just buy stuff up because it looks interesting.
