you wanna know what really irks me?

so, i went to muncie a few weeks back to party. the next morning we go out to find a place to get a little breakfast. on recommendation from the townie we were with we go to a denny's-esque little place. i believe it was called richard's. as we approach the door of richard's we notice a sign posted on the door.

"to keep prices low we cannot accept credit cards, debit cards, or personal checks."

now, being a modern man i don't like to carry cash around. i have a debit card and use it for everything. the most cash i carry is a few bucks for use in coke machines. so, to get my breakfast i had to drive around town looking for an atm. and is it not quite fitting that my bank wasn't anywhere nearby? i had to eat a $2.00 service charge so richard's didn't have to raise their prices by $0.10 to cover the credit card fees. sounds really logical to me! on top of that, how is a place that is going to charge me $15.00 for breakfast going to lose money on credit card fees when taco bell can afford to eat it when i buy my $0.99 chili-cheese burrito? these types of places need to pull their heads out of their butts and join us all in the year 2004.
