I occasionally shop at the Community Thrift Store on South Orange Avenue, and I have to say, some of the prices seem out of line with a thrift shop, but more times than not, I will find things I can use. As far as accepting only cash, this is a thrift shop, I can understand not accepting debit or credit cards because the bank charges outrageous fees for accepting debit and credit cards. Some banks charge a connection fee (for requesting authorization for a charge), a swipe fee (really?), and the list goes on. So please understand when a business only accepts cash, it is because they are trying to save money (translation: bank charges), and isn't that what it's all about?
