Simply list the advantages and disadvantages of accepting Bitcoin to them:
I'm going to give this a try, but I have to be prepared to answer some minor objections:
- zero investment (you don't need new devices or administrative adjustments)
He'll probably need to get a small tablet device. While he may be able to integrate into his current cash register POS system, it would be awkward to turn the screen around so the customer can scan the QR code.
- incredibly easy
- very fast
But not quite as fast as cash, at least until the employees are trained. They will have to put the amount into the tablet running the Bitpay app, tell the customer to scan the QR code with his wallet app, then wait while the customer unlocks his wallet app, then wait until the Bitpay app acknowledges the receipt. Agreed, this could be faster than a credit card, but there will be some new procedures that have to be taught to his minimum-wage employees.
I will definitely make those points, and I'll see how it goes.
