Yep that did it

I've liked working on NES consoles and controllers and Genesis model 1 sets for more or less that reason. The fixes are usually pretty easy and half the time you just need to clean something.

Of course, sometimes that something might be an old spiders nest or a quarter of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that somebody somehow got inside their controller.

Sandwich shop. There are so few places that make a good sandwich. I would open a sandwich shop to serve these people. Cash only too.

it's trivial to pass the costs on to your customers through pricing and it's so easy to use poo poo like Square now that random artists selling their beadwork on the street corner can manage it.

The real reason business conduct business in cash only is to cheat on their taxes.

I would run an oldtimey movie theater where tickets are reasonably priced and the popcorn is delicious. Also no movie would ever be shown in 3-D, just glorious 2-D projection.

It would go out of business almost immediately though, but a man can dream.

Actually there are tons of theatres that do that. The trick is to serve beers and show limited release films.

Sure but lol because the rate of lost business due to not accepting plastic would likely massively outweigh the savings on taxes. There's a reason every cash-only joint is a seedy filthy piece of poo poo small business that will never grow ever. That "cash only" sign on the register might as well say "our kitchen had 80 health violations the last time we were inspected 9 years ago"

FLAWED
INTUITION



Toilet Rascal
There was a fantastic Cuban sandwich shop in Seattle called Paseo that was cash only, lines around the block every day. One day it randomly closed shop, and it turned out the owner owned a bunch of back taxes and faced a lawsuit from previous employees who claimed wrongful termination because of their ethnicity.

It reopened a couple years ago under new management, and accepts card now. But the taste just isn't the same. The new owner seemed to not perfect the sauce recipe, which made the sandwich so good.
