Just saw someone post something that inspired me to add another tool to my toolbelt in getting businesses to accept bitcoin.
My current strategy is to ask if they accept bitcoin. I already know the answer will almost certainly be no, but it let's them know that there is interest.
Most of the time they say I don't know, we use this and point to their credit card reader.
But the new, additional method is to already be buying something and wait for the sales person (who may also be the store owner) ask you if anything else catches your eye. Tell them "not unless you start accepting bitcoin". Again, don't bluff. If they say, "OK", be ready to slap down the coins on more merch.
