Y'all bring up a good point. One that might do well to be suggested to Midway, in fact.
(Just in case it ever comes up) I hereby place this idea in the public domain, relinquishing any rights or royalties.
It would seem to be a good idea, for a place that charges a $HANDLING_FEE for orders under $MINIMUM_AMOUNT, to link that handling fee to previous behaviour. For example, if a customer purchased $MINIMUM_AMOUNT x 3 worth of merchandise within the last 2 weeks, it would make sense to waive the handling fee, in order to avoid hard feelings. If a customer made a purchase of $MINIMUM_AMOUNT x 40, as one poster did above, it might make sense to waive handling fees for the next 4 orders that are under the minimum, no matter how long it has been since the original purchase. This would [strike]definitely[/strike] likely assuage people like the person who bought $1000 worth of stuff one week, and then had to buy a $3 item the next.
