A garden center that I am friends with went cashless 4 years ago (just happened to time out with the covid) because they do over 15 million in 3 months and having 30 registers with teenagers counting out tills and runners collecting was just getting too much. Now if you want to use cash you are able to buy gift cards with cash on the way in. Lots of Facebook backlash and yet in the end sales were up 17%.
I don't know that I would ever go cashless but I am fine with the few percent Square takes in exchange for the ease of transactions and speed. We are surrounded by the 3rd and 5th poorest cities in Illinois and literally next to a highway. Never has anything happened but it always could. I try and clear the registers every hour.,
Thank you! I tell everyone to drop every hour just to be safe. It's just a strange switch for our type of business? Most coming into a retail furniture store have a range or amount they want to spend and usually 9/10 out of 10 it's cards not cash? Thank you! You always have great insight or advice!
I know I don't want to go cashless or checks type thing but I'm a worry wort. Not so much for me but my employees. If the weather is bad I send them home and I stay type thing. Lately it's so hard because we go through stages of months of cash and checks and boom then cards and no cash? It's hard right now to figure out what customers are doing? Luckily I live 2 miles from our business and can be there or leave in just a few minutes. Like I said I'm worry wort and over think everything! 😆 🤣 😂 thank you for your insights it always helps or I don't feel like I'm going crazy!
Congratulations! My last loan in March slightly higher even though increased sales but it is what it is. June that offer was 1/4 of any loan after 12 years and I was shocked! Looking at the trends that what was going on with most. That loan I was 91% paid back with as well. I'm glad you got an offer and thank you so much for posting it helps others as well. Here's to a great summer coming up!
