Went into a small shop this morning to pickup something for the wifey, making small talk with the owner (wanting to push lightning payments). She tells me her cc machine is down again, I think perfect opportunity. I first ask, do you pay fees for accepting Cashapp and Venmo because that’s how I typically pay. She says no, they don’t know I’m a business because I don’t do a lot through them. Then I ask, is your credit card fees very high? She says, I left it like the previous owner had it and I pass the fee to the customer. Then she goes on to tell me all the other retailers that pass the fee on. I was so disheartened, I couldn’t bring it up and just left. If retail customers have accepted the practice of paying the retailer cc processing fee, why do they want to change? I get the ā€œBe Your Own Bankā€ mentality but the sheeple of the world don’t get that concept. Looking for advice because I want to spread the word about lightning in my community because I believe in it..ā˜¹ļøāš”ļøāš”ļø

Reverse the argument. Let the merchant offer a ā€œdiscountā€ for paying with lightningāš”ļø
