Actually…they do except
I imagine the merchant at one time was given boxes of the bill holders and possibly either became to expensive for them or change of ownership of the establishment, just decided to continue using them.
Accept*
Am ex is gonna want their check holders back.
Amex always sends me window stickers when I don’t accept amex. Once I accepted amex by mistake and they sent me a ‘welcome package’ for us to show how much I like amex….I actually had an incident where Amex sales person came out to my store and put the window sticker himself…I removed it the next day…
Overall, as a shop owner, I am not fond of Amex.
This makes it sound like they don’t accept anything except American Express
Pay with travelers checks and bail!
There’s a great story about the laura ashley store in nyc where a customer went to buy some items at the counter and the sales person said “I’m sorry, but we prefer you not use Amex”. The person asked why. The sales person said the rates are too high.
The person buying the items? A senior executive at Amex. It went over poorly at HQ at Laura Ashley.
My friend Artie owns a classy place in Jersey & Amex cut him off completely after some suspicious activity.
The most ironic thing about Amex is that it’s super customer friendly but only slightly more expensive to the retail, yet the perception by the public is that Amex is second rate. That’s some impressive PR warfare by Mastercard and Visa.
Works on contingency? No, money down!
Are there still traveler checks?
“Except”… oh boy. I bet they also swap “effect” and “affect” all the time.
American Express charges slightly more to the businesses as I understand it, hence why it’s less common to find it accepted.
They don’t except it… Which actually means they DO accept it!
They also don’t ‘accept’ spelling.
Ignoring the incorrect word choice for a moment I want to talk about why they didn’t tape their note over the “we welcome American Express?”
“Do you take credit cards?”
“We do not, except American Express”
“Well great, American Express is all I carry!”
“I said we don’t, except American Express.”
“…. Huh?”
They do not except, what? So… they *do* accept American Express but nothing else? I’m confused.
People need to except the fact that this place takes all credit cards accept for Amex
Except
Well, I guess I missed the part where they charge me more than 4% for transaction fee… Well, if you are customer who shops at big stores, you should stick with Amex. but, if you are small shop owner like me, you can’t really afford that transaction fee. Right now, we are not charging extra fee for using credit cards like some small shops do. But, I understand why they do that.
*”We don’t, except AMEX.”*
Except?
I can tell you why. Visa / MC can be real through the same merchant account while amex is separate and charges higher fees.
Tell them yours is American Accpress.
The question should be whether the ACCEPT AMEX. What the note says is they don’t EXCEPT AMEX which sounds like they ACCEPT it

No exceptions!
So they do not “except” Amex, but they also welcome it?
We do not! Except American Express.
Glad to see the schooling system has failed them.
Accept, not except 🤦🏻♂️
accept
except
To be fair, it says “they do not,” *except* American Express.
Welp. That’s all I got. Have a good day ☺️
If they dont except it that means they do accept it, right?
