"We don't need no stinkin' dollars!"

[Jaysun]

I don't see the problem here.

[HaveHadEnough]

"I would see it as a move by the chain to communicate unequivocally to the Hispanic market that they are for them."

It's also a way to make money through a favorable exchange rate.

[JoeSixPack1]

Greedy capitalists! :-)

[saganite]

As long as they don't take dollars and give pesos in change!

[stockpirate]

It is their company, I don't care if they take old beer bottles for payment.

[Jeff Chandler]

Algore invented pizza. That's an Inconvenient Truth.

[cripplecreek]

That will be 150 pesos please.

[Last Laugh]

LOL!

I have a few pesos, who in W. Texas doesn't? I've often thought of using my Mexican money in the local stores who cater to the Mexican people.

This could catch on, if Mexican Dinero is considered legal tender, that's what I'll use! LOL!

Up here we always have some canadian change in our pockets. I went to Texas once and didn't think anything of it when I handed a cashier a Canadian quarter. She looked at me like I was an idiot trying to rip her off.

The only real issue I can think of is taxes.

Affectively they will be dealing with 100% cash when taking pesos. I doubt anyone will write a check or use a bank card in pesos. A definite opportunity not to report actual income depending on how they get them converted to dollars (or if they even do so).

I know in Toronto I've had no problem spending US dollars, and it's not particularly close to the border.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Do they accept gold bouillon?

That would be smarter.

[Last Laugh]

She looked at me like I was an idiot trying to rip her off.

Well, she probly aint never saw such a thang before!

Exchange Rate Mexican Pesos to One American Dollar..

Couldn't the same argument be made with US currency?

[fat city]

Isn't that their trademarked figurehead The Pizza Banditio?

Come now, this is Texas, she didn't think you were an idiot because she thought you were trying to rip her off...she thought you were and idiot because you went to Canada. :-)

"The same people who cry about dollars going to Mexico"

Well here we are, only the seventh day in the year and you've already made the top of the list of the 2007 Tagline Award "Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots" with your inane comment.

And what was your screen name before you got banned and took "wiffle head" on 12/11?
