They also have the cost of the c.c. machine, telephone line, extra time to process the transaction, etc.,...weighed against the fact that people have been going to their establishment for many years, they know it is a cash only business, if they don't have to spend nearly $3K to keep their clients happy, they won't. Not about cooking the books!!!!  |
It's all tax deductible, I personally call it arrogance. I realize that may seem harsh, but it's my opinion and I am entitled to that. $3k isn't a lot of money in the overall picture of doing business, especially when it is part of the costs anyway and therefore reduces tax liability. It all works out.
