Liquor Stores: Live from the 2023 Beverage Alcohol Retailers Conference (BARC)
For those of you wondering, I was really at the 2023 Beverage Alcohol Retailers Conference (BARC) in St Louis, MO. It was great chatting with so many of you in person! Below is a quick video that I took of the conference - next up for me is the Texas Package Store Association (TPSA) conference in San Antonio.

Surcharging Dangers: Disputes and Chargebacks
I have been getting reports from retailers about customers successfully disputing card surcharge fees.
If you apply a surcharge when a customer pays using a credit or debit card in your business, be sure that your surcharge policy signage is easy to see.
Even better, look for a point of sale system and payment terminals that support Dual Pricing as Dual Price does not apply a surcharge but simply allows for a cash price and a card price at checkout.
Cloud Retailer is one example if you happen to have a beer, wine or liquor store in the United States: https://www.cloudretailer.com/dualprice-pos/
