The other at America's oldest Tavern, the Bell in Hand I noticed signs all around the bar notifying patrons of a $25 minimum for credit card purchases. After ordering two beers ($10) I realized I was short on cash and handed my plastic over to the bartender. She shook her head and pointed to the sign. Explaining I didn't have any cash to pay I again offered her the card and said I'd talk to the manager if she was really going to enforce this ridiculous policy.

Something doesn't seem right about this.
