Corner Cafe Newton

Another businessman who is "smarter" than anyone else. I have 0 tolerance for retail places that don't accept credit/debit cards these days (especially one in the middle of Newton center) worse, there is no sign on the door, just a small one on the register. I had just left the gym and grabbed a bottle of water and was drinking it while I ordered my breakfast. I took out my card to pay and was told "cash only" I was told there was a bank down the block and I went out to spend 3 bucks to get cash for a 6 dollar breakfast. I never found the bank of Boston and went all the way around the block and spotted a citizens bank so I went there for cash. When I returned to the restaurant, a little annoyed, I said that they should probably make some bigger signs that say cash only since a lot of people don't carry cash these days. The owner (I think) came from around back and said the credit card companies charge him too much. I assured him the charge was nothing compared to the atm fee and inconvenience it caused me and he shrugged his shoulders. I then paid for my water and coffee (which had been poured already) and reminded him that the restaurant was empty and he should probably come up with ways to being more people in, not drive them away. These business owners trying to save themselves a few cents are losing lots of dollars in the process. I know I'm not the only who doesn't return to cash only places.
