Subject: antonella’s and the Plenty
In response to the poster who has a problem with Antonella not accepting the Plenty:
It is your right to refuse to do business with them if that is what you choose. I have been a customer of hers since they opened and I appreciate the salon (and Antonella) very much.
Each business in this town has the right to decide what form of payment they will accept. I don’t blame her for her choice. Who in their right mind would accept a currency that can only be used with select vendors, and knowingly cash it in for “real” money at a 10% loss?
She is a solid member of the business community, just like others in town. If this is her decision, and you choose not to frequent her salon, I’m sorry for you both, but please don’t start a ban on businesses that won’t accept the Plenty. If you do that, many other businesses in town will also suffer.
