First maybe try going in there asking if they accept Bitcoin and then leaving if they don’t. Otherwise you sound like you’re doing a shitty cold call. No offense. If you really want to help them, go in knowing the best pos systems for their area. If it comes up mention that you like using bitcoin because it is the best hedge against inflation in your eyes. Let them ask the questions and determine how much information to provide. You don’t want to info dump and overwhelm.

This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid, TY.
I can def ask them when I drop by again as a customer but this an opportunity to place a seed there to someone who has influence on the business
If you want to plant a seed with a business owner of a struggling business let them know what you would like to see as a customer, something that could bring in more customers or increase your patronage. They’re in the weeds right now. They likely don’t have the bandwidth to talk about monetary policy, history, and economics. It’s easy to mention inflation and mention that you see bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. Most people tune out after that. Better to say less and leave yourself open to further questions. Present a possible solution.
