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.
Whatever "excuse" they choose to make is exactly that. They choose not to accept credit cards. That's their decision. I've been caught short there myself after boating from Meredith...FORCED to go to Shibley's...but that wasn't a bad thing either!
