This is actually an old story, but I feel inclined to share it with you... Because I don't want to recount tonight while its still fresh.
Before I moved to closing I used to open, the main reason of which was because my wife worked opens and knows how to tell me stuff so it sticks.
Anyway it used to be about once a week that our credit machines would go down, this was nothing new or even remotely interesting, no jiggling of the cord or turning it off and on would fix it, but come four hours later it worked like a dream... *sigh*
Maniacal laughing aside we would have to inform the customers of this before they ordered, or we would have to give the food to them for free, it they are cool people I got no issues with this but when they step all over me just to get there allegedly mexican inspired food, even when the wait is going to be fifteen minutes... long statement cut mildly shorter if I hate you, you no gets free food.
So one of two things will happen on these types of days.
Me: Hello, hows it going today? Feel welcome to look over the menu and order when you're ready. Before you do however I need to tell you we can not, currently, accept cards.
SC: Oh, it that credit cards too or is it just debit?
OR
SC: Do you accept cash then?
listen people for whatever godforsaken reason we still accept checks, its posted, of course we accept cash.
or they will get to the window after having stepped all over me to order and when I ask for denomination I get a card and tell them we can't accept them
Sc: You never told me that how I am I supposed to know that?
Me: It was actually said during that part of my greeting where I said we couldn't accept cards, but I think you were two busy ordering to hear me, either way if you can't pay I'm going to have to ask you to drive on please.
