Reno:
We (Building Dept) have suggested and requested the implimentation of accepting 'plastic' for fee payments, and that's as far as it has gotten. I know first hand when I have someone at the counter for pickup, and they pull out the roll of bills. There's about a 50/50 mix of upset folks vs. 'oh, I forgot what the girl told me'
Yes, the proliferation of electronic payment is down to the convenience stores, and coming soon is payment by smart phone. What irks me is the guy that has a cup of coffee, uses his debit card, wants cash back, has insufficient funds, re-does it with a second card, fails, and by then there's a line of fuming people, one of which offers to pay for his coffee just to get the heck out.
BTW, without going off topic, are your gas stations charging 'cash' price & 'credit' prices with 6-10 cents differential?? They say it's to offset the bank fees.
