You go to the only store in Utah that doesn't accept Credit cards?

Literally one minute from my in laws. Thought it was a good choice. Clearly not

Yeah. Winco in CA doesn't accept credit cards either

I have never shopped there, but I have never encountered a store in Utah that

7/16/16 7:06pm

That happened to us in California. Will never go back ever again.

WinCo policy in all stores, not just Utah; Debit card- OK, Credit card - nope

Yep, same in CA. Arco gas stations are the same way.

There are no Aric stations in Utah either

Sorry I'm from the South and don't know these facts

Actually Winco was in Ore, Wash & Cali before Idaho but yes

Grew up in Boise but didn't know Winco was originally Waremart. Interesting.

Winco doesn't accepts CC anywhere. I love Winco

Their prices are remarkably low.

Merchant processing fees.

7/16/16 6:47pm

surely worth this guy leaving his groceries at

7/16/16 6:56pm

3-4% times 100k per month is worth a lot more than having to put back one cart of groceries

scall

7/16/16 8:37pm

still makes no sense

7/16/16 9:17pm

A store the size of WinCo? They'd better be doing 100k per month in revenues at a minimum.

scall

7/16/16 9:20pm

2% maximum for a chain that size

HighHorse

7/16/16 9:17pm

I was thinking Amex would be at 1.7% and the others lower

Dillinger

7/16/16 9:18pm

Could be true for the bigger stores.

Who doesn't carry an extra couple hundies in their wallet?

That's why I don't shop at Winco

They'll accept your EBT though

CBaass

7/16/16 7:21pm

Winco has the crappiest food you can get. Produce is horrible

kotacoug

7/16/16 6:51pm

Their produce is pretty sketchy, their meat is pretty good though

I'd say the opposite in Phoenix

stoils

7/16/16 9:13pm

Had that exact same thing happen to me, lol

Jericho

7/16/16 7:11pm

Don't blame us for this, it's an Idaho-based store

7/16/16 7:15pm

Winco? Who goes to Winco?

Dillinger

7/16/16 7:21pm

Exactly...

kotacoug

7/16/16 7:22pm

Credit cards add 3%-4%, so if they are a discount store, not surprising

Bob Vance

Just go to the CostCo nearby

NacoCoug

7/16/16 7:53pm

They really should post a sign at the front door about that policy.

silent_t

7/16/16 8:00pm

They accept FOOD STAMPS ONLY!
