Although I understand your frustration, I would throw in the towel and
get with the credit cards. Cash is going to be obsolete and so are
checks. Credit card and wire transfer are going to be King. It's just
the way it is, more convenient, faster for everyone. Your customer
loves them. It's what is happening.

There was just a class action settlement on check/debit cards. The
merchants "won" (acutally the lawyers got money) the merchants can now stop
taking those Visa/Mastercard debit/check cards. ARCO stations get around it
by not taking credit cards at all. They have ATM's where you can get cash to
feed the pumps.
As for my business, we take cards. When asked if we take credit cards,
our response is, "We prefer cash or check." I have made a few sales that
entered "negotiations" (aka Let's make a deal). When I have given a
discounted price I have insisted on cash or check. I'm sure you all like to
get paid 100% of what you have worked for, Merchants are no exception.
