Our new credit card machine is up and running now. We take Apple pay and other mobile wallets now.
To the best of my knowledge, we are the first small business in San Miguel County to have this equipment.
By 10/15, all businesses that take credit cards will have to have this equipment or they will be 100% responsible for chargebacks. For us that would mean that we’d have to eat a tank of gas or a bag of groceries that were fraudulently charged to us, but we’re covered right now.
Outside card readers on the pumps need to be changed out by 10/17 and I hope we’re out of here by then. THAT upgrade would cost anywhere from $15,000 to $45,000, depending on how big we’d want to go. The smart move would be $45,000 for a new system including pumps and inside register. Our equipment will be 16 years old in 2017.
Damn, coffee is perfect in the morning!
If we sell this place, Nina has decided that we’re moving to Ferguson MO. Not sure why, but that’s what she said.
Did I mention that I won at poker last night?
I think I did so well because Jiminy was absent. I always thought that Ted was a jinx, but I may have been wrong.
Hard to believe that next week brings us Thanksgiving and Erin’s birthday. Both on the same day!
She has told me about 25 different presents that she wants me to buy for her. I don’t remember any of them. She expects all of them. Of course that’s the treatment she’s learned from the Dilia crowd. She points and they buy. Idiots.
Re-examine all that you have been told . . .
dismiss that which insults your soul.
