Everything grinds to a halt when a customer uses a personal
check or cash. Cute but wrong, cash is king!
I guess a money order would be acceptable.
To go deeper, pick up a quarterly called 2600.
It is very revealing about how shallow corporate security
can be with your credit information.

Re: Place of business refusing to accept cash?
Totally agree. When I worked weekends at the Ren Fest we would take all the same information for a credit card as we did for a check. It took five times as long to server a customer with a credit card than with cash. I would rather take the cash since a merchant has to pay fees, and I have my money. With a credit card the consumer can lie and say they never spent their money there and make it extremely difficult to get your money. Admittedly you can fight it after, I think three disputes have been denied, but that takes time and a watchful eye to be sure to catch all of them.
