Pizza Patron to accept Pesos as payment in Dallas, TX
 
 
  
Yep, you read the title correctly.  Pizza Patron,  
a pizza place based in Dallas, TX, is  
going to accept pesos as currency. 
Naturally, the restaurant caters to the  
latin folks.  Some of the anti-immigrant  
radio and tv show hosts have been  
ranting about this for a couple of days. 
I, myself, also have a hot button  
on this whole illegal immigration thing.  
However, my take of this business  
of accepting pesos is a little different  
from my brethren. 
To me, this is just a capitalist  
enterprise trying to meet a consumer  
need.  Nothing more.  Nothing less. 
I only have one real concern with  
this whole idea.  Counterfeiting... 
I suspect that if the "pesos  
for my pizza" craze takes hold, these  
businesses take on a greater risk  
of loosing money when their exchange  
is denied because some exchange company  
determines x number of pesos are counterfeit. 
Most of these businesses are small enough  
that this could become a real problem for them. 
That said, if the illegals want to spend their  
pesos here versus Mexico, fine by me...
