AMEX question

[Cherry]

what are your experiences with amex? For some reason they do not work in retail stores but work all day for restaurants? sometimes you get decline for 100.00 in a store, but you can go eat and spend 200.00 no problem?

i dont get. the merchant just isnt going to take my word. but that isnt the case anyway. Im asking why they get declined, not "call" response. they get delined in a clothing store but work in a food place. so my question is why food and not clothes?

Food is less susceptible to fraud then clothing
