Nope, not about the situation in the Middle East, or about mass shootings here.
This is about pizza. Good old American (ok, Neaplolitan-American) pizza.\
There is a new pizza place that just opened in my town. I was on my way past it today at lunchtime and figured I'd grab a slice for lunch. It's just opened, they have a snazzy sign, and there is a pretty good crowd, so I wait in line for about 5 minutes to get to the counter.
When I get there, the young man behind the counter asks: "Have you been here before?"
"Nope," I replied, expecting to get a quick primer in the wood oven I could see and their daily specials.
Instead, he tells me, "Just to let you know, we only take debit or credit cards."
I assumed this meant they did not take checks, and had left my debit card at home by accident, so I said, "Well, cash is still ok, right?"
"Nope. We don't take cash."
Is this even legal? Isn't a business required to accept legal tender in exchange for goods and services?
I was so pissed I took my business elsewhere.
Has anyone else heard of businesses doing this?
Than on the other end, there is a all day breakfast shop we go to coming home from the duck blind sometimes that only takes cash. They put in a cash machine when people complained.
