I was on my way home work tonight when I stopped at a Exxon/Mobil gas station, surprised to see the above sticker plastered on the pump.  I immediately thought that it was very odd.  In my limited experience with merchant accounts and credit card processing, I thought this sort of practice was not acceptable per the credit card companies and merchant services.

A rather boring topic for my first post in three months, but whatever.  Has anyone seen something like this before?  Doesn't this break some terms of service with merchant services?  Is it even ethical?  I don't know.

On a completely different note, I'm testing the upgrades I made to my blogging software, so that's the real reason for this post :)
