Some establishments that "do not take CC" will offer an ATM machine ... INSIDE the establishment! That convenient machine will charge you about 5% "convenience fee"! The owner either owns or collects a percentage of that PROFIT! The workers get nothing (except the smaller tip) because people do not have unlimited funds to pay 5% extra to the owner because they refuse to take other forms of payment.

Outdoor, your rant is unbelievable and disgraceful! The people who go to the VK know before they go that they will need to pay with cash or check, and they do not care one bit! The ATM inside is a convenience for the customers, not a moneymaker for the owner, and to insinuate otherwise is insulting. Do yourself a favor and go for an attitude adjustment.
