I hope this isn't the harbinger of the way of online sales. I think that would put a crimp on online sales and cause people to shy away from that in favor of back to a physical store, where one advantage is you have a better chance of finding someone who knows about what you are considering as a purchase. I said 'better' because I find a lot of dodo's at places like Radio Shack, now just a toy store, the people who work there, only maybe 1 in 10 knows a thing about what you want outside of how a cell phone works.

Originally posted by FMFYes, I'm sure it does. Otherwise they wouldn't do it.
Doesn't the cc facility make the retailer more attractive and thus more able to get cc holders' business?
But if the market will bear their recouping their cost by passing it on to the consumer, I don't see why they shouldn't.
