Purchased tile at a great price, was so, so excited! Today I noticed a huge charge on my account that I didn't expect. So I chat with Rufus at my bank online and low-and-behold, Floor and Decor had their money debited from my account but failed to release the hold... Sooooo, you gunna get paid twice bro?
Being a merchant is simple. You provide goods and services for a price. When you charge a price for said goods/services you do so on on occasion and then walk away, unless more goods/services are purchased. So to charge a guy AND put a hold on the account is just not how this works. Which leads us to one heck of a pro tip!
Pro Tip: If you spend 400 bucks and use a card like a normal person, be prepared for them to eat $800 for an unknown period of time.
