LOL. While i somewhat agree with you, i know many people that don't even have a hundred in their checking acct. the day after getting paid, let alone having it in their wallet.

I agree, but when you do use your CC, you need to cough up an extra minimum 4% to cover the business' loss of income. Or would you rather they charge an extra 5% on everything? Small businesses cannot continue to absorb the income loss due to credit cards just to make it easier for you. You absorb the cost, use their ATM. Let's reinvent 2012 and take the banking out of purchasing!

Ha, $100 won't likely pay the bill for a couple of people at a seafood restaurant. Jay

I'll keep in touch with Jay on this one. The season is just beginning, but you can already go to different restaurants for a pound of steamers for $8.99 or 2 pounds for $12.99. Obviously you don't go to Newport ro Providence's high end restaurants, but the smaller restaurants in the Providence area. The lobsters are chicken lobsters and they are Rhode Island lobsters, not Maine, so the coloring is a little different, warmer waters. I'll keep you posted.

And there's the rub.

Chicken lobsters are sweeter and more tender than large lobsters. I'll take a chicken lobster over a 3lb behemoth any day!
