| - This isn't exactly a "fair" interview. And I really have a problem with people, who write reviews that have nothing to do with the business (like giving them 1 star because you came off hours and they were closed). But in this case, I think the following information is important for potential consumers to know:
I didn't really get to try their sandwiches, because once you enter the place, there's sign in the corner -- not very obvious and nowhere mentioned on the door or window before entering -- stating it's a CASH ONLY business. At $2.50 - $3.50 a sandwich --- and that's pretty much all they do --- I can understand why taking credit cards would be an issue (most people don't know how expensive those transactions are for companies). However, many businesses get around that by imposing a charge for transactions under, say, $10. Or they won't take credit or debit cards under a certain total. But to completely ban debit/credit cards in the 21st Century is not only anachronistic and inconvenient, it's unsafe for all involved (mainly the consumer, who now has to carry cash around). Honestly, the last time I had actual cash in my pocket was when I was in Mexico earlier this year. I can't remember the last time I've had US bills in my pocket while home. It just doesn't pay to risk losing money or having it stolen.
For that reason, and that reason alone, I'm writing this review. There ARE ATM machines nearby where you can withdraw cash; but since I'm not a customer of Chase Bank, I won't pay their fees to withdraw money plus a non-network ATM fee from Wells Fargo. And I certainly won't use a non-affiliated, stand alone ATM machine in a mall. Waaaay too risky.
Sorry, but I think it a bit unreasonable in this day and age to exclude customers based on a common payment method. Being we were out here all the way from Goodyear, we easily would have bought enough to offset your fees and, if necessary, gladly would have paid a surcharge to use our cards and try your sandwiches.
