Don't know about these guys but the credit card processing market is full

charged $10/month as a "statement fee"!!!
Now that's making a statement...
I've got one of these Square readers in my pocket. Haven't had the
opportunity to test it, and haven't felt like losing the cut they take from
every transaction just to swipe my own card.
Probably the biggest roadblock to its use is getting people to trust their
credit card to it. Went to lunch with some co-workers and couldn't convince
them to let me consolidate our shares of the cost with it. They preferred to
pay me cash. (Now that I think of it, one of them was a little short, and
now he's no longer with the company... DAMN!)
He was "a little short"; do I detect prejudice against PORGs (People Of
Restricted Growth)?
Credit cards have always struck me as iniquitous; spending money you
don't have and
then getting charged interest on it. Personally I always use my Debit
card (obviously,
for the benefit of lovers of the Brazil-Bulgaria Axis of Bentness (BBAB)
out there, I don't mean
a Bulgarian debit card) when I make online payments. No interest, and no
risk of spending money
I don't have . . . :)
I, also, always do it via . . .
Tor : http://www.torproject.org
Call me "an*l", call me "over cautious"; but, frankly, I'd rather you
called me those things rather
than find that some member of the BBAB has been buying his girlfriend
thongs, or himself
leopard-skin posing pouches with my debit card . . . :)
