| - It's a $10 "smoked" meat sandwich. There's a lot of meat, it's tender and good. It's served simply on thin bread with a little mustard. It's iconic and worth a try once. Would I ever go back? No, but I'm glad I checked it out.
Anyways, here's the problem. WARNING, they don't take credit card here in purpose. When you walk in they do say, "we do accept USD". Okay, but once you go up to pay, you find out it's an even USD$ TO CAN$ PLUS 10% exchange (as of June 2018). I've traveled all over the world, and this is a first for me. That's basically close to a 40% exchange fee. WTH?! I hate any place that won't take credit card because the CC companies charges the merchant 1.5%, but then turn around and want to charge 40% on their paying customers? That's just horribly wrong. I told them that and the guy was clearly offended. His response was "well, they do it downtown too", and "in the USA they don't take Canadian dollars", and "we are not a bank" (yeah, more like loan sharks!) Bottom line is if they don't want to take CC, then they should offer something on planet Earth, not 40%!
