What's this?

I used to keep a couple of Huns in my glove box when I traveled->

on business. I never wanted to get caught in one of those places at lunch with a customer or my engineers...

It is a MAJOR inconvenience.

There used to be really good place outside of Richmond. They only took cash (and I knew it). Was there with my wife one night and a man was there with his whole family. There were probably 10 of them. This place was not cheap, and he dropped a bundle. You know the rest...Check came, he handed her his card, she informed him it was a cash only place. I assure you nobody carries that kind of cash, and it was out in the country, not near any ATM. She finally let the man write a check (he was from out of town).

Basically, it was that or not get paid, and she still took a chance on the check (although he "looked" good for it)....I promise you he never took his family there again when he came back into town! STUPID business practice...
