Do not flame me for saying this, but if we continue finding workarounds for these problems, merchants will not need to receive Bitcoin directly. We do not want to rely on 3rd party services to be able to
use Bitcoin. I had the same problem with a local pub, and I worked at them for weeks... they now accept BTC as payment and in reward, I arrange Bitcoin meetups at their place. We have to go the
extra mile to get what we want, but workarounds should be our last resort.
My goal is on the spending side. To show that you can drop your bank, get paid only in bitcoins and be able to live on that. I did find another way to buy my groceries online with bitcoins but this one would be a bit more convenient.
I will contact them directly though to see if they can look into it though.
If people are able to live on bitcoins, then more stores will understand that this is a typical payment method and then they will start providing it as an option. Chicken and egg thing...unless you're a business, this is the way you can push forward your side of the equation.
