Yesterday I stepped into a pet food store to purchase a couple of treats for my mechanic's dogs. I always try and remember to being something when I know Im going there. This particular pet food store has been around for decades and when I lived in the area, more than four years ago, I shopped there occasionally. (The woman I lived with was more interested in supporting this woman-owned local business than I was.) I stopped in this store 9 months to a year ago to purchase a couple of treats and the owner told me I couldn't use a card unless I spent a minimal amount.
