I hope you were just kidding with that statement. You may want to research that fact a little further. They could use "Square" on their cell phone for 1.75% and cancel it anytime (I do). Look how many seasonal and short term business
do use CC. With the volume they do, 36% overhead and the margin on their products the 1.5%, 2.25% or even 3.5% service fee on one out of ten sales, that excuse just doesn't hold water. There are other reasons they don't want to use it. The cost is just a convenient excuse. Perhaps, it's the fact that they like it being an all
"cash" business, with no paper trails on reported income.
