I will have no problem stopping you for sex and interrupting you while you are doing any of those things.

Hmm, no mention of back rubs or foot massages. Guess those can be your bonus.

Bums dont have credit cards.
And since at least 50% of the people who go to fast food restaurants leave their shopping carts full of cans outside, I dont think they would pull out a VISA card.
Old people who hate technology and also welfare recipiants are included in that 50%. There is no need for a credit card when you are selling crappy meals.

Bottom line is that they're LOSING BUSINESS by not taking VISA. From a business sense, taking only cash doesn't make sense. I'm not the only one I know who doesn't carry cash. Cash for one thing cost me $$ every time I hit up the ATM machine. VISA on the other hand is free.

Problem isn't solved when they spend a minute trying to figure out what' the correct change to give you... when they could have just hit the "charge" button on their register and swiped the card. You'd be out as soon as they got your signature. I've never been in and out faster than with the VISA.

Cash licks my nuts.

You really think McDonalds gives a shit about the money is loses by not taking credit cards? I dont. If the owner of the McDonalds cant get a perfect merchant account for some reason, they might end up with one charging 40 cents per transaction plus 2%. That would end up being over 10% of the price of an average meal. Where the hell is the profit in that.

I would estimate if the local McDonalds took CC, it may bring an extra 5 sales a day. No way in hell are they taking CC.

its a cash only business...tax? what taxes? It's easier not to report sales...maybe that's a reason.

id be for credit cards being taken inside the mcdonalds, but not at the drive thru.


When i go to wendys my bill is 4.95 The girl at the first window knows theres a 99% chance im going to be paying with a five dollar bill or five singles. And she has the nickle ready and waiting for me even before I get to the window.

If I paid with a credit card, id have to wait for her to swipe it, at least 5 seconds for it to be approved, then hand me the receipt to sign, then sign it and give it back.

Now imagine if 50% of the people that go thru a fast food drive thru paid that way for their 5 dollar order. It would take forever.

My CC works allmost everywhere over here.

A big reason why the fast food places like it is that the robbery risk is much lower if they have less cash.

Most people pay with some sort of card in grocery stores also. Usually its just swipe and enter pin code. It's pretty quick in the places where the stores actually put the code-keypad in a sensible place.

Too bad it means more money to VISA/MC :mad:

I can't believe how deluted and lazy some people are:

Increased costs mean increased prices as simple as that.

Now lets see what the cost increase are:

1. CC Fee's vary from 1% to 3% for normal sales. If you charge like 2 dollars the fee is not in percent but in a fixed range.

2. The infrastructure. The line to the cc companies the hardware etc.

3. More skilled employee's mean higher wages

4. You have to keep the receipts to have a prove of purchase which leads to point 5.

5. How much do you think MD would loose of people charging back? Really worthwhile to send a collection agency after a 2 dollar chargeback.

This would probably mean the damn Burger would cost at least 50% more just because some guys cannot keep a damn 10 buck bill in their pockets.

FlyingIguana 05-25-2003 11:12 AM

more skilled? you just punch a few buttons and away you go. it doesn't require anymore skill than using a cash register. and that requires about as much skill as cleaning toilets.

there are no chargebacks. there's a signature, if it matches the card then thats it.
