When it comes to convience stores there are many factors that I use to decide where to go. Cleanliess, friendliness of the staff, quality of the food and speed of service are the main factors that I decide on. Based on the above I have always chosen WaWa when presnted with a choice, but a choice you are making is leading me to have to choose another convience store. The reason for this is your realtivly new policy to require ID for any credit card purchase of $50.00 or more. As far as I am aware Visa and MasteCard's policy is not to require ID unless the item being purchased needs to be Age verified by law or unless the merchant suspects the card being used fradulently. I am highly suspect that all purchases of $50.00 or more on credit cards are considered suspect so I would like an explenation of why your policy violates your merchant agreement.
They should not ID signed cards whether it is 5 dollars, 50, or 5000
