Spot on about the plastic! We started to take plastic a few years ago now!Not the cheapest way of getting payment,what with terminal hire and then percentages,but you will be surprised when you give someone a quote for a large job,ie:engine rebuild,etc and they um and ar about it,until you tell them you take plastic,and then it's 'when can you book me in'!! Also it's great when someone comes in and pays by switch or delta and the card gets declined,We had a woman the other day that went to pay by switch,her bill was a measly £56.95,her card was declined!!To which I replied: My oh my Sarah,it seems you don't have £60.00 available in your bank account!Well talk about red faced (he he)she didn't know where to put herself!She paid by visa and away she went!But imagine if she had written us a cheque and then left!One thing for sure though,if you always make a belittling comment to those people without funds,they always have the funds for the next time they face you!!!!!!!!! Just my thoughts, GUNNER!
