Vendor relayed order to the kitchen and the stated the total: $7.47.

Subject reached into purse and extracted one Visa brand debit card.

Vendor approached card machine, placed card in machine in preparation for swipe, then stopped. "There's gonna be a 75 cent charge."

Subject: "Really? Would you mind skipping it just this once? It's my first time here. If I'd known I would have brought cash."

Vendor: "There's an ATM at the [name redacted]."

Subject: "Please? Can you waive it just this once?"

Vendor: "Sorry, I can't. There's an ATM nearby."

Subject: "Then go ahead and cancel my order."
