You know what really fucking pisses me off is that most fast food places don't take VISA. Why the fuck is this. I mean, consider the fact that they have ten 15 year olds behind the counter flipping the burgers, and working the frier... paying them 6.50 an hour... and they're making 6 bucks per sale, and a lot of these places have lines going out the fucking door in some cases... they're not exactly "dipping into margins" with a 1.5 - 3% VISA charge.

When it comes to picking where to eat I pick the ones that take VISA cause I don't like carrying cash on me. I know that if you don't take VISA online you're gonna be fucking your business, I think that's probably just the same in reality. So wouldn't shaving 3% of your $4.00 margin be better than NO sale at all?!

I just don't get it, I've had talks with the owners of these places about their retarded logic, and they can't really give me any better reason other than "we just don't take it, sorry". Does anyone know WHY these morons can't see past their fucking 3% loss and realise they're losing MUCH more than this by not taking VISA at all???
