Been down 8 hours so far. No one can access money, transfers or take payments or even see their merchant balance. Pretty crazy. I'm sure it's screwed a lot of small businesses over today. A lot of people only have one point of sale service.

I always found square to be a big hassle and we only used it sparingly

Hopefully this is a wakeup call to the increasing numbers of small business that put "NO CASH" signs in their windows.

Yes, I was at 3 separate businesses. fricked me pretty good all day today. Employees were not able to clock in to log hours and my registers were interrupted mid shift by a restart. The entire thing is a clusterfrick. I dont really care anymore, the government takes all my money anyway

Assume this is the reason

I didn't get my direct deposit last night so my butler is having to go the bank for me and get cash.

Thoughts and prayers.

I had some air conditioning work done this morning and the service man used Square to run my credit card and it went through without a hitch. (DFW area)

It’s why you should always carry some cash as a customer/consumer

Technology is great until it isn’t working and then you’re fricked
