Nope, not worse than Hitler, but bad enough I don't support businesses that treat customers like crap. As explained above, he wants my money, he should provide options.
This is not just the e-commerce issue. I once went to Sears when I got out of the Marine Corps, and was married and had a home. Wanted to buy some things for the house, tools, lawn mower, etc. Had all the tools in the cart, the salesman helped pick the mower, etc. Went to pay, and got out my CC, they told me Sears card or Cash or check. None of which I was prepared to use (no checkbook with me, no cash (in that amount) with me, no sears card, no desire to have one). The salesman pointed me to the ATM out in the mall. I walked past it and they lost a sale, found the tools elsewhere. What's more, this broke the shopping ideas I had (from grandparents and parents) that Craftsman was the tool brand to have, and I don't think I have bought anything from Sears in the last 20+ years.
