Dumon - Brugge, Belgium

I have used your travel guides for four years. Just returned from a month's travel in Europe. Stopped in the Dumon shop in Brugge on April 29th. Chocolates are great as your guide recommended. However the service and conduct of the lady working the shop was rude. She complained that I was using an American Express card to purchase my boxes of chocolates. The front window had an American Express sign on it so I was surprised by her comments. Since I didn't have Euros with me to cover the purchase I used my credit card. She complained that she had to call the US and pay 4% fee on American Express. Those fees should be a cost of doing business and included in the shops profit margin. My friend accompanying me refused to purchase any chocolates from Dumon because of the way I was treated. Since Rick Steve's recommendation is displayed in the store, I thought you should know what type of treatment a credit card customer received at Dumon. Jacqueline White
