Grow up and put a $20 in your pocket. If that’s too challenging for you, stay home and let your mother make you a PB&J.

Their fried chicken and chicken livers are on point. They aren’t 5 star by any means, but the locals love them. I wouldn’t go out of
My way to eat there, but if I had a hankering I’d make the trip.


And bring cash.

Majority of people & businesses I deal with nowadays would much rather be paid in cash.

Or maybe EBT in your case. Either way, put a $20 bill in your Pocket if you want to pay for a fast food lunch.


Debit cards are pretty trashy, too. I'm worth enough that I want a nice firewall between most transactions and my checking account.

That said, standing there counting out dimes and pennies and shite is just stupid and gross. What kind of a person doesn't even have a basic credit card in 2022? Like I said- trashy.

What is Linda’s?


A chicken and fish place in Watson that has a Denham Springs address, for some odd reason.

$4 is a helluva long way from 4% which is around the maximum cost for a credit card transaction.

I've reluctantly accepted the $5 minimum charge and a 3 or 4 percent cost increase from some hyper local merchants. I understand that the convenience store making a $3 sale has smaller margins and thus wants to force either a larger transaction or straight cash.

That said, Linda's can take their $4 charge and shove it. The last time I tried to go there, it was a Saturday evening, and they were closed. Ditto on Sundays. I think they've since expanded their hours, but Popeye's is basically across the street, and they (1) are open 7 days/week and (2) don't charge me extra for using a credit card via Apple Pay. Oh, and they actually have an app that works.

Every address in Watson is Denham Springs except the PO boxes.

Also it is called Linda's chicken and roach for a reason.

They must be quite tasty based on how many people like the place.

Trashy or not, they’re probably tired of paying the processing fees. It doesn’t sound like much to you, but it’s still probably hammering them. I don’t blame them a bit. Again, it’s not a big transaction so there’s no excuse to
Not pay cash. If you you don’t like it, peddle down to the next place. Linda’s will live or die by the decision, not the broke dick with no cash on them.

Yeah, I don’t have anything to do with the place. I just support their cash only efforts.
