Business ProfileforMint Green Boutique

On 12/16/22 I purchased five bracelets from Mint Green Boutique at their location *********************************************************. When I checked out the credit Card machine was SLOW in responding to by Card. The clerk said that it had been slow all day, another clerk joined us and tried to assist. After a reasonable wait it appeared that the machine was not going to respond. I offered to pay cash, and the clerk was relieved to move on. I was assured that the **** transaction would not go through.My **** statement ending on 12/22/22 listed a transaction for 12/16/22 showing a charge for $117.70 for Mint Green boutique. I have called Phone #************ three times and left a message; and I have visited the store three times. They have not responded to the phone message, and the Store has been closed when I have visited.Maybe they are on vacation? Maybe they have another good reason? But assuredly they are poor business people. They could at least have a sign indicating when they would return.I have filed with the **** company and been told that they cannot reverse the charge and that I should contact the merchant. I hope to resolve this issue through contact with the merchant. I feel it is probably a misunderstanding, but the mystery is unresolved: where are they?
