it seems to be a micro-trend w/ small biz around here
Could see if I lived in farmland but I'm in Chicago and when I can plug a PayPal reader into an iPhone and swipe into my PayPal business account think a business can find a way to take a card as well. Think you would rather have orders pre-paid instead of having your delivery guy fumbling with cash after Midnight. Old school place that's not the greatest but open late as hell and I've always picked up or had cash on me. Called an alternate that could take a card as didn't feel like going out and Pizza was better so by them not taking a card and making me look for an alternate led to me to a new source so first place lost my future business since the pie was better at the second place.
