if someone doesn't pay for their meal the restaurant can't do shit. the reason you order something is under the assumption theyll pay it in full.

^true, but i've also seen people use debit to the extreme (use it for a $3 sushi roll)... when the processing fee is $0.50 to $1.00, thats really cutting into a restaurants revenue

this is just odd as i know that most cash only places in richmond are cheap (like $5 for fried rice) so i dun see the point in being so "cheap" about this, plus i heard these places take cash only cuz if they add everything up they might not make a profit (if u include rent in food courts) if they except cards as (someone told me this one time)

I've personally dined there multiple times - and there's been once or twice where I've forgotten to take out cash and got dinged at the ATM at TD. Boo friggin hoo.
The debit fee is actually more than a Credit Card fee - but with Credit Cards - you have the risk of chargebacks, which will amount to a lot more than debit fees each month.
btw - there's an extremely cute Japanese girl that works there. True story.
