American Express

I work in a large retail store that doesn't accept American Express. Sometimes customers get pretty irate about this. Here are some highlights.

"But....this is America."
"Don't you have to accept American Express? Isn't it like, run by the government?"
"What do you have against America?"
"Well, do you accept Russian Express? How about Chinese Express?"
"Well then, what DO you accept?" (To which I answer, "Everything else.")

This is why I Work 2 Rant.
