I could either use their in-store ATM to withdraw some cash and get charged a $3 fee (not including the fee my own bank would charge me) or I could purchase something else that I really didn't need to bring the total up to $5. Easy choice.
And just an FYI, today is QUADRUPLE eBay Buck day.

Your example would have fit perfectly if you've never been to that store before or were used to their policy, but what if that same store allowed you to purchase those same items with your cc/dc without having to buy any minimum amount and then one day they said their policy has changed and you have to buy $5 minimum or you will be charged a surcharge? I'm willing to bet you wouldn't be too happy at first...now your example makes sense.
