Square charges a flat 2.7%, with no monthly charges. A merchant account with a payment gateway costs around $30 a month and 2.5%, accepting AMEX cost another $15 a month and the rate is 3.3%, but Squate does that for free.

Good luck with this. I don't think he realizes how pedestrian unfriendly cities in the Southwest are. He'll quickly realize a trip to pick up groceries will take 2 hours via bus, and he'll be forced to walk without sidewalks in 105 degree heat to the bus stop while everyone else drives by in airconditioned cars looking upon him like he is homeless.
I second this. If you have ever waited tables or tended a bar, you know that speed is everything.
A fast illogical system is better than a well organized system that requires several actions to get a result. You can front load the work an illogical system requires when you aren't busy, by memorizing the location of menu items, etc.
I agree with your tone...it is a great business they've worked themselves into. However, you are leaving out one major expense; I imagine they're paying the credit card companies between 1-1.5%.
I was a first timer on the first unibody. I still LOVE it. I've never loved a PC, Dell, Sony, HP, ACER, Lenovo or otherwise. Part of that is OSX. I find it so much better than Windows, even after having using Windows most of my life.
It is naive to think that suicide experts would recommend better working conditions, creating unions, or investing in machines to perform mind-numbing tasks.
Suicide experts have been trained to treat the problem of suicidal thinking, not the potential causes. If someone is suicidal because of depression, they tell them to talk about it and take an antidepressant. They don't advocate to their boss that they would be better off if they got paid more so they could work less and had better food in the cafeteria.
I third this. The way you have that slide written is misleading, and frankly, lame. You don't need to make it appear like you "worked at/for Apple" and that is the way it is written. Reshoot that slide.
Otherwise, I like the FB resume deal, this one time. If I ever see anyone else do this, that is a different story.
