They don't do it for ATM fees, they do it to launder money and tax evade.

And if you don't want to pay cash at places that only take cash.. just go somewhere else.. Or eat at home.

Differentiating between credit and debit cards when talking about cash only places is quite a moot point.

Well if you'd read accurately, you're response might not be so defensive..

Personally, it angers me that they're too cheap to pay the credit card processing fees

I beg to differ. know a po-boy shop in my town. Cash/check ONLY. Only way he has ever done business and has a VERY good business.

when it is all said and done, in small business transactions, a place could me paying 4 - 5 % for that credit card fee-transaction fee-processing fee and monthly settlement fee.
for a marginal business that's a lot.

So, his business is doing really well?
Considering it is around 2 to 2.25% per swipe with a master card processor, that's around $3.5 million in JUST MC sales ..
Somebody's bullshitting somebody ..

He's not doing 10 mil in sales, I know that.
My guess would be between 2-3, and that would put him around that 75K mark.
So I don't think that was b.s.
so when you say master card, you actually mean all credit cards .. correct ?? i.e. that $75K figure includes VISA, Discover, and American Express too ? Depending on the type of business, I could see a good one doing a gross of $3 million+ ..
quote:
you have no clue what you are talking about
which part are you referring to ?? because he hits it on the head on all points ... you pay between 2 and 3% on individual VISA, Master Card, and Discover swipes .. and between 3 and 4% of AMEX swipes to your credit card processor plus about a .35 per day close fee ... when he says master card accounts for about 1/3 of their sales, i assume he is referring to solely master card and not all cards ... so if this guy is paying his processor $75K a year JUST for master card transactions .. that is around $3.5 million (give or take) a year gross in JUST master card sales .. his $10 million figure is taking the other three cards into account ...
eta: if this is a restaurant we are referring to .. and it is a medium to high end place, $3.5 million basically equates to 539 table turns a week at an average of $125 a table .. that's a LOT of turns on the high end too ..

When this thread started, I jumped in it because the person I know threw that figure out once while we were about to pick up the check at another restaraunt.
It has to have been total credit card sales. I could see them doing north of 2.5 mil.

I thought he already confirmed that it was total credit card sales.

i can see him doing that much in total credit card sales .. that makes sense ... but is this a restaurant ? or some other type of bigger average ticket business ?
