Stupid hippies

[ray1970]

Who could live in Boulder? And what the hell kind of restaurant doesn't take credit cards?

Think I'll email the coordinates to North Korea.

Where did you eat?

[KestrelBike]

On the side of small business, Credit Cards take a sizeable bite out of the receipts. It's up to the management to decide whether that's a larger amount than the lost business from people w/ no cash or who only want to pay with CC. Oh and then there's being dumb "screw the CC man" hippy mentality to factor, too.

We went to the spring game today and I made the executive decision to get lunch in Longmont. I can only handle so much Boulder.

Or they really want more cash running through their biz so they can keep it under the table and not pay taxes on it. Hippies only think others should pay there fair share of taxes. ;)

[mrghost]

I know China Gourmet in Boulder doesn't take credit cards. Good food though.

Yeah, "the rich". BTW: "the rich" = anyone but them.

bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I"m sure colorado dept of revenue would be GLAD to hear of it.

Or they're trying to keep money out of the hands of big banking corporations which is awesome (if that's it).

I don't take credit cards in my business either.. Depending on who you deal with you are going to pay some combination of monthly fees, per transaction fees and a percentage of each transaction. Not to mention that the credit card company does not pay you your money in some cases for up to 90 days after the transaction. Small businesses that do not run large numbers get screwed royally by credit card companies. A 20% profit on an item quickly becomes a 0% profit and in the restaurant biz a single % point can mean staying in business and closing.

Otherwise, I like being at the foot of the mountain, makes a trip up the canyon for hiking, mtn biking, camping, skiing and whatnot a quick trip rather than a day long ordeal. I've spent enough time living in suburbia to ever consider anything like Westminster, Arvada or Littleton and I've done the living downtown thing back when I used to live in Minneapolis.

If your waiting 90 days instead of 2-3, you really need a new merchant processor. Square is the way to go on low volume card transactions.

[cjmore]

That's very 1980s. Your business your rules.

Never heard of a 90 day hold on CC funds. Per transaction fees, monthly fees and % per do add up.

The Square does/did have a 90 day stipulation on larger transactions but they would wave it after so many transactions, if you asked. 3% per transaction and no monthly fees is nice for the occasional user.

What I don't understand is why people don't carry cash anymore. Why do people assume that cash/check only business' are shady?

I enjoy visiting Boulder, even though I have zero desire to ever live there. But, after what the Dems have done to us we need to BOYCOTT all liberal areas and businesses, to the maximum extent possible. This includes CU football and basketball games, and definitely let them know when you cancell your season tickets that it's because CU is so biased towards liberal policies. Support the AFA instead. Spend your money in El Paso and Douglas Counties instead of Denver, whenever you can. Fight back.

[MrPrena]

When I was living in Boulder about 13-16 years ago, it was worse.
No major retailers. I had to goto MacGOGO hardware to buy stuff, because there were no Home Depot.

However, I would rather live in Boulder than Denver. At least Boulder is more firearm friendly than Denver and their NO OC, No 21+ rounds mag.

Columbine Steakhouse on Federal just south of the stadium doesn't take credit cards. Well worth the cash if you are in the hood and have some cash.

Boulder is a tourist destination like Haigh-Ashbury in San Francisco. Everyone enjoys a freak show from time to time.

[DSB OUTDOORS]

You won't catch my ass any where near Boulder. Even 20 years ago I had problems. So [fyou] Boulder!!

[electronman1729]

Why on earth would you goto the Southern Sun?

[02ducky]

Hey Ray! You end up washing dishes to pay the bill :)

They do have an ATM though.

^ Yep

I will go to bolder once a year with my wife that is my compromise but I have weaseled out of it the last 3 years running.

I assume that cash only RESTAURANTS are shady.

[Aloha_Shooter]

I don't. I assume cash-only businesses -- restaurant or otherwise -- want to keep the 3% charged by the credit card companies or are philosophically opposed to the record keeping and data mining implicit in credit card use (primarily the former because not enough people know about just how intrusive the latter is).

[ROFL2] what the hell for

[JMBD2112]

only good thing in boulder is this guy, seen him twice now and you should see the attention he gets

[GilpinGuy]

I seldom go to Boulder. My wife and I like a Thai joint that we go to now and then, but that's pretty much it.

When we do go though, I always think about how the folks around me would react if they knew I was carrying. I chuckle inside.

He spends time in Cherry Creek on the corner of University and Speer/1st ave as well.

I know a couple people in Boulder that carry.. I would myself but I'm not sure that I want to put my name on a list with the Sheriffs Dept. Boulder is known for it's hippies but in reality if you spend some time there there are more gun lovers and Libertarians than the city leaders would like you to think. As someone said above.. they are more gun friendly than Denver.

Maybe their card reader can only read Chinese credit cards

If they don't work and get paid, how come the tax?
