i hope we get follow up info on how many take them up on the offer...

could be a smart ploy to get staff to spend more wages in store lol like bar tenders who get one free drink after work ;p

My guess? None. The price is too volatile right now for this.

This is when to buy when the crowd is scared.

I wouldn't say that is true when you are dealing with people's paychecks. If you are earning a living then you want the money you receive from your work to have a stable value. It might be a good idea to have a certain portion of your paycheck be bitcoin but not the entire amount

Even taking a small amount of their paycheck in btc would be great. They get the option to try out Bitcoin without opening an account anywhere and learn first hand how easy it is to use. I'm convinced that anyone using btc for an online payment, even once, will see how easy it is and be inclined to keep using it. The downside I've always seen is getting the btc in the first place. These people don't have that problem.

I guess that is fair. However I really don't think it is that difficult to open an account at someplace like coinbase and buy bitcoin in regular amounts based on how much free cash you have every week (or however often you get paid)

No, it's not that difficult but it takes some effort. Having it given to you every two weeks by your employer takes zero effort.
