Holy shit. Imagine if someone tried to rob Captain Happy Bubble. All of the money that flows through that place would make robbing Number 9 look like scooping pocket change from one of those "Give a Penny, Take a Penny" dishes

It's also late at night, so less witnesses, visibility and police around, and on top of that, the place is pretty big - bigger than most pho places. Packed with people, packed with money.

And they are cold for robbing ppl yes, but that's cause they're loser cowards in the first place, who can't go work hard for a living and instead do stupid shit like this. I hope they get caught and jailed for the ridiculously short period of time that ppl do get in canada. Altho they're prolly minors in the first place.
Any place that only accepts cash is fucking shady as fuck.
IMO.

A lot of Asian restaurants only accept cash. That prevents them from paying Credit card processing fees.

Is not the processing fees is that they can avoid paying taxes. With a CC transraction they can't get away with it but with cash it is up to THEM to write how much business and earnings they do. It is very hard for the gov to check the actual numbers.

Actually, it isn't. You would be surprised at how much these guys get audited.

lol credit cards own. they give me 1% back so the process fee is way more than 1%.

restaurants should offer 5% discount when paid by cash.

I'm going to ask for a 5% discount next time i pay with cash otherwise i'll just slip out the plastic and get 1% discount
