I have one also, and love it. Artists were very early adapters to this technology, for obvious reasons.
Many of us who are small businesses / artists find this solves perennial POS issues, particularly when we have studio sales, or sell at shows around the US.
Interesting! Any tales to tell about their account, deposits etc? Do you find the 2.75% cost OK?
My next use will be to take a friend to quail run for dinner, charge it to our bill, and take the friend's part from his credit card (he never carries money, only cards). The interchange is necessary due to QR's quarterly meal charge .. if you don't use it, you loose it and it has to be on your account.
I initially thought this was as nuts as my earlier buying tools, magnifier, etc to fix my iPhone, but thus far both have been used in interesting situations.
