That's right, all of the more than 700 Waffle House locations will begin taking your plastic by late next month. So far it's just Visa and MasterCard, according to a recent story in the Atlanta Business Chronicle. The Georgia-based restaurants have been cash only since the first one opened in 1955. The cash-only policy has been the biggest complaint for customers through the years, Waffle House's VP told the ABC.

finally!!! the ones around here had some strange work around system, it was almost like an atm, but wasn't: you would put your atm card in this machine, put in a dollar amount ($10, $20, etc.) and it would print out this "credit" receipt. then to pay, you hand the receipt to the person at the register, they would use that as "cash", and give you back your change in real cash.

I think the problem wasn't with the technology, it was with the quality of employee.
