I've been doing this for a couple years now. In that time, I've been asked only three or four times if I take plastic. I certainly cannot justify $300 per year for 2-3 charges.  (i.e. not everyone on this list is doing 3-5 tunings per day and/or working 35-50 hours/week.) <br><br>That said, the most recent inquiry, which returned a "Sorry, no plastic" response from me, resulted in "Well, if you took plastic I could pay you today. Paying by check takes a lot of rigmarole at the central office and will take 2-3 weeks to get you paid."  <Sigh...> <br><br>I think I will start asking people if they'd like to pay with plastic. It would result in fewer/less-frequent trips to the bank... <br><br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:Erwinspiano@aol.com">Erwinspiano@aol.com</a></b> <<a href="mailto:Erwinspiano@aol.com">Erwinspiano@aol.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> <div> <div>  Oh Please spare us the sarcasm.
