Wow Dave, I never thought I would post that I agree with you but here it is;
"I AGREE WITH DAVE!"
His post is right on the money! no pun intended.
The first thing I tell someone when they pull out their AMEX is that we don't accept that card.
They always say "But that card gives me my best rewards" I say "Sure but WE have to pay for your rewards, no thanks"
We accept a max payment of $500.00 by CC.
People don't even know what cash is today, I tell someone a cash "greenbacks" price and they walk in with a check!
I recently talked with a small business owner I know, and his CC charges were $65,000 last year!
OK rant off, I must be getting old and grumpy before my time.
