has American Express or Diners Club done the same to you?
(just curious)

We'll never know -- I threw BOTH of them out right after we opened, after
they tried to charge us 5% for each transaction. (The other cards --
Visa,
Mastercard & Discover -- charge us "only" 4% for the privilege of
"working"
with them.)

um, does making a reservation at your place require a credit card?

If you want a "guaranteed" reservation, yep.

If you want a "contingency" reservation -- where anyone who walks in the
door with cash can bump you -- nope.
