Original Comment:
You should accept bitcoin as payment. Please use the company "Bitpay" to set it up. I don't not work for them, I have no financial interest in them. I'm simply a user of bitcoin and you're the only restaurant I eat at as regularly. Thank you
Response:
Thanks for being such a fan and for the suggestion to use bitcoin. We don't have any plans to accept this as payment, but I'll be sure to pas your suggestion along to the powers that be. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon!

Chipotle refusing to accept BTC at the moment is the best thing that has happened since McDonald's? |

Ah, understood. I really wasn't trying to be critical there, but I scratched my head hard as to what your meaning was.
Agreed, I think it would be amazing if I could go into Starbucks or Chipotle or wherever and pay directly with BTC using my phone.

It would have been a lot better if it said "we don't currently have plans, but..." Reading that seemed like an "we haven't even given it any thought, so good luck on anything happening anytime soon, if at all."

I'd wager that Bitcoin is still generally unknown to the majority, though it is steadily gaining traction. But at least they've now been introduced to them. |

I emailed Subway too, but I really don't eat there. No response from Subway yet. I work for a huge chain corporation. The next time I see the big wigs walking around, I'm going to ask them to pay me in bitcoin, LOL!

Anarcho-libertarian looneys are so funny. Completely separated from reality. You really think that if you spam working people with moronic emails they will start to like stupid bitcoins? They will begin to hate you, idiots. You want your cripto-dreams to come true? Then go and produce something useful. Grow cattle and sell meat to Chipotle for bitcoins. Go grow some coffee beans and sell it to Starbucks for bitcoins. All these goods are not teleported from Mars into your local stores. They are produced by hard workers who need to eat every day, live somewhere, take care of their kids, and pay with fiat for all these services.

It would be interesting to have a payment provider that works more instant.
An online wallet where you keep around a small amount of BTC and use to for insta payment. Basically you load the wallet and when you get to the POS, your BTC have long been confirmed and you then convert your BTC from THEIR wallet immediately to a price changing every 30 mins.
Nice dream, but it should be possible. Bitpay as far as I know needs you to send a transaction for a purchase. An online wallet loadable with small BTC amounts would make such a thing redundant.

Eventually this could be a reality. I've thought about offering my farmer bitcoins for my meat and eggs. I'm not sure he'd know what they are. If I had a product to sell, I'd accept only bitcions. You're right, the revolution would really take hold if producers only accepted bitcoin. That would be the *ish! |

...You really think that if you spam working people with moronic emails they will start to like stupid bitcoins? ...
Yes. In fact it is the best way to get the attention of businesses. Most of the businesses that now take bitcoin came to it via their paying customers. |

Businesses do what they can to make things easier on their customers. If they didn't, people would just go elsewhere and they'd go out of business. |
