Totally agree. Studies have shown conclusively that sales go up when a business starts taking credit cards. Overall sales and average sale per purchase. In other words, there's significant added value to taking credit cards, so the complaints about the fees are silly.They have that option, and they'd be fools to exercise it. A business that doesn't take plastic would see enough business dry up that they wouldn't balk at the miniscule fees involved.
I was just pointing out that if the credit card fees really bother them that much, they do have the option to take cash and/or check only, whereas the employees in the linked article do not have an option regarding their paychecks.
