Cash only is pretty common with neighborhood Asian restaurants. They
believe in providing good food at a fair price and not having to raise
the prices to subsidize credit cards. There is a reason that the CC
companies (and not merchants) spend 10s of millions of dollars on all of
those commercials showing how convenient it is to buy a donut, soft
drink or pack of gum with your CC.
