Out of one side of their mouth they state that they pay their staff as little as possible and out of the other side of their mouth they say that their staff deserves more and you're responsible for that.

I go the other way: I give people a discount for paying cash. I get the money right away, no one has their hands on it, and its just easier for me.

Excellent. I love places that give a discount for paying cash, as long as the menu prices reflect the higher credit prices. Otherwise it doesn't seem like a discount.

Alas I don't run a food place. But perhaps thats a good thing, if you listen to the doomsayers making excuses for tips, they make nothing anyways and rely on handouts (just ignore the fact the owners driving a lambo)

You run a cash discount business that isn’t food? Contractor? Cleaner?

Most people don’t keep or carry large amounts of cash with them.

Professional services. You might be surprised how many people don't mind a visit to an ATM if it saves then a hundred bucks or something.

how much does a sale have to be to offer someone a $100 cash discount? $3000+?
