Credit Cards

[Alan R. Barnard]

Sounds like the voice of sad experience, Ron. Personally, I've never had
such a problem, even though I started this thread. In my case, the problem
isn't with the cardholders, or finding such, but with a funky little rule
and lack of common sense, brains, or compassion on the part of the person
with authority who could easily fix it but prefers to be a little cubicle
goddess (oops, frustration slipping out there). But, in truth, it's an
isolated problem.

Bottom line ... unless you really generate substantially more business, or
bigger "tickets"  by accepting cards, most here seem to agree with me that
it just isn't worth the cost and hassle. In my isolated little problem, it
would actually be a net LOSS for me to get a merchant account just to avoid
the problem in future.
