Accept Credit Card Payments and Get With the 21st Century

Nothing is more inconvenient than finding something you really want, and after motivating yourself to make the purchase, you find out that the particular store you are at does not accept credit card payments. It is practically inexcusable in this day and age. Who doesn’t have some sort of credit card that they use to make purchases on a day to day basis? Hell, it’s probably possible to find a free credit card terminal if you put in a little bit of effort in trying to find one. It really is quite baffling.

Unless you grew up during the Great Depression and have no faith in an almost entirely theoretical currency, and still carry around a pouch filled with gold and silver doubloons, then it is a bit ridiculous. This is the 21st century here, folks! Stop playing in the dirt and get with the program! We may not have flying cars to get from place to place, but people shouldn’t have to carry around all of their money in a physical form every time they want to go out and buy something.

That may come off as a little strong, but someone’s got to tell the shopkeeper that’s falling behind on the retail game. Get yourself a merchant credit card terminal and be a 21^st century merchant again. That isn’t asking too much, is it? The world will thank you. And more importantly, your business will be more approachable and appeal to a wider audience. And when is that ever a bad thing?
