Fuck you wuss.

>>16821638
No, anon, you are the schizo.
If a place of business only accepts cash, they’re most likely a tiny establishment doing it to lower costs and make bookkeeping easier.
It’s the people who insist on only paying cash who are the schizos.
Thinking the business only accepts cash for schizo reasons makes you a tier-B schizo.

the opposite is true

It's a tax dodge, likely hires illegals too

>>16821661
>doing it to lower costs and make bookkeeping easier

A new Italian restaurant opened near me. It was 100% staffed by Russians. Needless to say I never ate there.

Any place that has a list of quirky rules posted to broadcast the owner's opinions on things.

>>16821882
Example ?

>>16821886
How do you not know this?

If there isn't a drive-thru I can't be bothered.

>>16821886

cash only is a green flag

I wont eat anywhere that forces customers or employees to wear the goy muzzle.

>be cash-only restaurant
>sell $5 item for $5, receive $5
>accept cards
>sell $5 item for $5, receive $4.50 if customer is using a visa/MC, and $4.10 if they are using an AmEx.
If you’re a small establishment and are operating around capacity purely from regulars who know you take only cash, there’s literally zero reason to start playing the card game.

>>16822132
Not my problem

>>16822177
Not their problem either.
If a place is cash-only, it’s by choice, and they literally give zero fucks about your not eating there.

>>16822187
It'll be their problem soon, zoomers won't stand for it

>>16822199
By the time zoomlets are the only customers left, the old moms/pops who run cash-only mom/pop places will be dead.

>>16821705
Also no credit processing fees.
Depending on how much business you get, you could be spending hundreds, if not thousands a month in processing fees.

>>16822177
Anyone with any business sense is taking into account processing fees when setting their prices. So yes. It actually is your problem.

Nope

>>16821638
I only go to restaurants that either only accept cash or have a surcharge for cards. And I pay cash. Fuck bank fees. Greedy banks caused the GFC and then profited from it.

>>16821638
The fuck are you talking about? It's annoying as fuck, don't get me wrong, but I haven't been to a cash only place that wasn't fantastic since the ass end of it not being unusual for random places to be cash only, like, twenty years ago.

>>16822076
Nobody does that.

My shitty landlord won't convert the washer/dryer room to accept anything but quarters, which is also incidentally what everyone seems to be out of. So I have to make a bunch of strategic cash purchases every week just to try and get enough quarters to do my laundry, and hope everything the cashier doesn't tell me they're out of quarters and instead give me nickles and dimes.

>>16825060
>Then stick to your bigmacs, Cletus.
I've never heard of a Michelin Star restaurant that takes cash only. Ruth's Chris doesn't take cash only. etc. etc.

Not sure where your "McDonald's" angle is coming from.
I mentioned them earlier because I'm pretty sure fast food joints were among the last "restaurants" to accept plastic. Try to keep up.

>p.s. I’m not the anon you asked, so I’m not sure why you’re bitching about that to me.
It doesn't matter who you are. If you live someplace where your "hole in the wall" doesn't take plastic, I'm curious as to where you live.

Fuck's sake, even I take plastic, and I'm not even an actual business.

>>16825121
Go to any bank, doesn't even have to be yours, hand them a 5, 10, 20, 50, whatever and ask for it in quarters. Zoomers are fucked man...

>My shitty landlord won't convert the washer/dryer room to accept anything but quarters, which is also incidentally what everyone seems to be out of
I recently went to a "spray it yourself" style car wash. Years ago, you needed quarters for that, and the vacuums too.
This time, coins weren't even an option, credit cards only.
Also, in my parent's condo, the washers and dryers use a special card you have to buy at the main office.

>>16825121
And then there's the shopping carts at Aldi.
For those that don't know, the carts at Aldi are locked to each other, and you need a quarter to unlock each cart. You only get your quarter back when you lock the cart back in the line.
It saves them the cost of paying employees to retrieve carts from the lot, but it means that you can't get a cart unless you have a quarter.
I don't think I've spent any cash since Christmas of 2019.

>>16825121

Absolutely based. I never wear a mask anywhere and when asked I just reply "no thank you" and keep walking. If they insist and kick me out for it I just never go back and leave yelp reviews that they have cock roaches and my food was rotten.

God damn you're full of shit no one asked no one cares fuck off. You pretentious twat.

If you pay with cash no one can steal your credit card number and clean out your account.

>>16821638
I'm actually the opposite and refuse to go to card-only businesses even though I mostly use card, as I think it's the height of stupidity to encourage a cashless society.

Cash doesn't leave a paper trail.
Cash doesn't leave a receipt.

Lose your wallet? Cash is gone forever.
Cash is great for hookers and cocaine, obsolete for anything else.

I live in Maryland and moved away from the DC metro area because it is full of bullshit yuppies and is overcrowded. I used to live in Silver Spring. I live near the MD shore now in a small town. And VA is not as attractive to city goers as DC is. DC is what people move to the area for, generally.
There are crab shacks near me that are cash only, and I've been to a handful of Vietnamese restaurants in north VA that were cash only. I can't recall any of those Vietnamese places specifically, north VA has a ton of them.

A doctor working on a person on an operating table isn't the same as an average person going to the grocery store. Surgeons wear them so they don't spit saliva into an open body cavity, and so that blood doesn't squirt in their mouth.

You can also add a surcharge for people that pay with cards to cover the fee. If you make the customer pay the waiter's wage, just make them pay the transaction fee as well.

>Most of the workers are black female hoodrats
Not even trying to be racist. They're the ones that ALWAYS get people's orders wrong or make you wait. Went to IHOP and had one take our drink orders only for her to disappear for 20 minutes.

Also had an incident where I tried to use a BOGO Dave's Single app coupon at Wendy's. She gave me only one burger claiming I said I had a coupon for a free Dave's Single dispite the coupon clearly saying "Buy one Dave's Single, get one free".

yea, god forbid Americunts gets a bad rap. go choke on some corn syrup.

everyone thinks it's a tax dodge but it's actually to avoid credit card company charges.
credit card processing companies love skimming off 3% of everything you're doing and restaurants are famously low-profit enterprises so some places just don't want to pay it. not sure if they don't lose out more than it's worth but on principle I support them.

fun fact American Express made up "small business saturday".

>>16826462
>credit card processing companies love skimming off 3% of everything

Wow, imagine charging money for a service! It's not a nationalized system you mong, there are significant infrastructure costs in addition to the salaries of thousands of employees because Visa, Mastercard, etc, are all private businesses too. You might as well complain about the bodega making a profit off of your Doritos, or Doritos making a profit off the corn farmers, or the corn farmers... well, they're getting massive gov't subsidies, but they gotta eat too. Go back to CHAZ with your Che Guevara t-shirt; grown-ups are talking.

>>16826486
Not worshipping big business isnt commie loving behavior you jamoke. Hes saying it allows things like a mcdonalds on every corner and the local bbq joint to make less money. Thats like saying bealth insurance isnt a waste of money if you are a mildly active adult with no health problems.

>>16826486
I was not making a value judgement of credit card companies, just saying some people don't want to pay processing fees when they could operate as a cash business with no fees or special equipment for taking money (card swipe machines and internet aren't free either and add to startup costs). I'm not a fucking anarchist, you can look around with your eyes and see this.

I hope a credit card company writes your paychecks or something because it's really weird how you jumped in to white knight for them.

Sorry for the hyperbole fampai, it was indeed heavy-handed. Just trying to keep discussion balanced. While the CC companies are doubtless all headed by fatcat overpaid C-levels, they do have legitimate costs and are providing a in-demand service at a time where the credit-payment option has become /expected/ by many customers, due to the hassle of handling cash and the benefit of credit companies' consumer-protection services. If certain small businesses don't want to play, that's fine. But if those same small businesses lose out on higher sales by not playing (as CC industry-funded studies suggest; the idea being that credit enables impulse buys), then it's their own fault, not because of the evil CC companies taking their fair cut. (If we want to talk about evil bankers, let's focus on those extending credit lines to people who clearly have no ability to pay.)

FWIW our family used cash almost exclusively until the COVID lockdowns, when all of a sudden many of local stores, both small and large, started discouraging cash due to social distancing and alleged "change shortages." (Conspiracy theorists will also point out that this trend has also made more purchases easily traceable.)

>>16826542

Taxes are theft and private industry drives innovation.
>they pay for schools!
All schools should be private, to varying degrees of cost (and quality as byproduct) depending on the neighborhood. People who don't want their kids to have shit education because theyre poor can just not have fucking kids. Only those who can afford to have kids should do so.
>they pay for roads
Road construction should be privately powered as well. How would road builders benefit off of this? Why toll roads, of course. Itll encourage poor people to bike more anyway which is healthier.
>they pay for police and firemen!
If the post office can be privately run (it can), so can cops and firemen.

The government should never stick its nose into the economy and industry when it doesn't need to ergo only the minimum amount of taxes required for the government itself to run should exist.

all human beings should be forced to wear masks regardless of if covid exists or not. all of you bitches have stank breath and most humans are too ugly to stand. imagine how quickly flu season would vanish if every human being wore a mask on a daily basis. imagine how much more pleasant life would be if you didn't have to look at hundreds of ugly mugs every day.

god, it would be paradise.

I know the kinds of MD shore towns he's talking about and they're a mix of locals and the ultra wealthy who move out there while they work in the city, or to retire on the bay. It's a short drive from DC and Baltimore. I find your coastal elitism against one of the wealthiest parts of the country honestly perplexing.

Listen up you redneck virginia chud, I'm from Maryland and here black and trans lives mean more to us than you could ever imagine. Now go back to hunting squirrels or whatever it is you dumb hillbillies do over there.

You're close, anon. I live in Calvert county. I actually work in north VA, it's a bit of a commute but totally manageable. And honestly the place I'm at is peak comfy. Small town but still with plenty to do and even walkability to a pharmacy, grocery store, and a few restaurants. Do you live in MD too?
That other anon left the thread, don't think they're coming back

You only need 1 quarter you keep in the car cup holder for Aldi. You can reuse the quarter indefinitely.

They do that shit so they don't have to pay fees to credit card companies for processing, which means that their profit margin is so hilariously thin that they closed when covid lockdowns started

Let’s get this shit back on track. If there is a TV anywhere in the restaurant, you know for a fact you’ve just stepped into a lower class shit hovel.

>>16829247
One time I went to a ramen joint and they had a TV on the wall that just played a slideshow of random photos of nature and landmarks all over the world (most of them places that didn't even have anything to do with Asia/Japan, like Mt. Rushmore), with the same picture of a bowl of ramen crudely photoshopped in front of each one

>>16826486
It wouldn't be that expensive if they didn't give rewards. There's a reason why even big businesses don't take American Express

>>16829247
I expect TVs in bar/restaurant hybrids honestly. But I hate places like Buffalo wild wings because there are TVs everywhere. There's more TVs than wall space, it's ridiculous

>>16825614
>But I guarantee that other anon goes right up in people's faces when talking to them, or wipes their nose with their hands, or doesn't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. People are disgusting
>I never needed a flu shot and I won't ever need one.
Pick one disease spreader.

>>16829338
If you need a shot for the flu your immune system sucks, anon. I have never been sick with the flu more than twice, and both times it cleared up quickly. I also wasn't going around sneezing in people's faces and I washed/sanitized my hands regularly. Theres some things called taking care of yourself, eating healthy and staying active. All that will help you stay sickness free most of the time. You do those things, right anon?

>>16829326
I guess it's part of the intended atmosphere, but the one time I ate in a BWW the TVs were so loud that I had to scream to talk to the person two seats over from me, that shit's just annoying

>>16828355
>Road construction should be privately powered as well. How would road builders benefit off of this? Why toll roads, of course. Itll encourage poor people to bike more anyway which is healthier.

That’s not the owner broadcasting their opinions; it’s them trying to be quirky with legal and financial rules common to all establishments.
1) by law, no alcohol if under 21.
2) management reserves the right to refuse service
3) a 15% gratuity will be added automatically to the bill of any party 8 or greater (every restaurant many says this)
4) no outside food or drink.
These are rules all restaurants have because they want to stay in business.

You aren't making a very good point. Bikes are impractical over long distances.

>Let's get this away from /pol/.
How about a tv/monitor displaying a slideshow of European/Aryan fine art?

>>16829409
cant you ask them to lower the volume at loud resturaunts and they will?

i used to eat at a pizza buffet three times a week and sit there for 2-3hours studying in the back area and i would turn on the tv to a two hour block of walker texas ranger. this was when i didnt have a car and would pedal around massive suburbia to get to school. i would regularly ride like 30miles a day, fuck i would eat so much back then

i tried to get my gf to pay at resturaunts in cash if she really wanta to support thier buisness, she still uses card.

i told her to directly order food from local resturaunts and i would pick it up on my bike but she still uses grub hub.

she is a lazy, convience american. baka. i have my faults as well, i dont work, lol.

>>16826411
seriously, if they add 9% after the price for tax, why wont they add 3% after price for CC? would that be illegal for some reason?

>>16829459
You don't get sick easily either? You must be pretty healthy then too. Also I am aware that overuse of sanitizers is not good, not only does it spur evolution of diseases but it also dries out your skin by removing natural oils. I wasn't bathing in it, just washed my hands before I ate and stuff like that

>>16829822
Nothing wrong with any of that. Meds, now.

>>16830059
It's not illegal. The problem is that most American small business owners are complete idiots and have no idea how to run their operations.

>>16821638
This is a green flag
I hate banks and taxation is theft

>>16826639
It’s all good, anon

>go to buffet
>stay for 3 hours

>see nothing wrong with that

>eating out
The only flag I need.

>>16830059
In some countries it is. CC fees also depends on volume, average checkout, return rate, various risk factors and more. There are places that have a 2% cc fee and are able to forward it to the customers.

If you sell items that are easy to resell close to a crime hotspot you'll have to pay quite a bit more then a coffee shop in a rich area.

Same with high risk goods like tobacco, alcohol, sexual services, clothing etc..


Then there are countries without a functioning regular banking system, no competition = credit cards are basically free to charge whatever they want.

>>16821638
maybe it's a red flag in whatever shithole area you live in, where I live, the best restaurant in my area only takes cash and not once was I ever in a situation where I felt like I was going to get mugged or held at knife point by thugs, it's even located in a quiet area with minimal street lights or much people walking around in general, I guess if this was in America, there would be some suspicious thugs standing around here, or the place would get regularly robbed but the owner told me not once has it happened.

>>16830193
i also rode my bike some 150miles a week

>>16830134
bud you're retarded. you don't build immunity by being healthy. you build it by getting old and overcoming sickness. i can concur with >>16829459, i've never gotten the flu naturally. the only time i've felt flu symptoms is after getting a vaccine for it.

>>16822101
How does this work in a restaurant? Do you need to put on your mask in between bites?

>>16821638
You are schizophrenic

>>16830020
At a crowded Buffalo Wild Wings in the middle of a big city on a weekend evening while a game is being aired live on the 6 huge TVs all over the restaurant? I think they'd have laughed in my face if I went "um can you please turn this down"

Why is it that every place I knew that was cash only was a chinese restaurant?

>>16836003
The Chinese are very cheap

If a Chinese restaurant is cash only they're 100% cutting corners in some much more disgusting ways too

>>16836003
Place I knew in Chinatown, I've lived here about 25 years and they were cash-only until about 5-6 years ago, suddenly started accepting credit cards. About the same time the health inspector raitngs started improving too.
