I’ve tried to get my local breakfast spot to turn on lightning payments. I’ve mentioned it now three times. Each time they acknowledge my request and are nice about it and say they’ll look into it. There is always a line. They are extremely busy. And by the end of a long day I doubt they remember. I don’t want to be the guy that keeps annoying them. And usually the person taking orders doesn’t have a financial incentive or economic interest in the flow of payments.

Lots of good solutions mentioned in this pod.

Get the staff to download a Lightning wallet, tip them well, and let them be your ambassadors.

Pay other people to ask as well. Simulate demand.

They are a square seller. The staff is flying around early in the morning fulfilling people’s orders. Not a lot of time to orange pill. I mentioned the savings vs debit/credit rails being a square user. They nodded and quickly ran back to fill an order. Need to go in when it isn’t busy I gues...
