Should Pizza Patron accept Pesos?

Question

Pizza Patron is a pizza chain based in Texas. I would like an honest, and intelligent, discussion on whether they should accept pesos or not. Remember, Hispanics are the majority there. ;)

Answer 1

No. For one, this is the United States and the currency here is the U.S dollar, not the peso. It's a matter of respect and common sense. It would also be a pain in the butt. The peso is total crap compared to the dollar, about 10 of them buys a single dollar right now, and the peso is extremely unstable and the exchange fluctuates quite often. Furthermore, both my husband and I are Texans, and he is hispanic. We, like many other families here, fly a U.S flag proudly. It is extremely insulting that you think just because of someone being hispanic, their loyalty MUST lie south of the border. Living in a city that is roughly 80% hispanic, I can tell you most people I have met here are proud to be here.

Answer 2

ok, I don't know what is wrong with you people. Not trying to be rude but isnt Texas in America. Do you not agree that all Americans and those in America, should speak english and use American currency. Ofcourse non-US citizens would be ok with it. It is more beneficial to them but it is not in any way more beneficial to our own country. Do you not look after your own country. Wouldn't more revenue be better off for the state of Texas. Isn't the Peso worth about 8 times less than the dollar bill. Does that mean that the price of the pizza is cheaper to those who have pesos. If not, then what is the point of accepting pesos. If it was simply the matter of exchanging the money....wouldnt the pizza patron get charged by exchanging the pesos(hypothetically)to the American currency. Where is the benefit in that. The people from other countries should be required to exchange thier money as we do in other countries. The only way it should be ok would be if it was beneficial to both countries or parties involved. This country has slipped into ignorance and with the immigration problems that we have, shouldnt it be obvouis whether or not we should except pesos.

Hey White Girl, good for you, you should stand strong

Answer 3

No. They may be the majority here in Texas, but Texas is still part of the UNITED STATES, not Mexico.

Colorado and Nevada do not border with Mexico, but they are accepting Pesos at Pizza Patrons there.

Answer 4

Any business has the right to accept of type of currenty for their services, food, clothing, homes, cars, whatever they are buying, a business has the right to accept any kind of legal tender for their products. Along the Canadaian border many US stores accept Canandian currency, and the only problem would be is to exchange the currency, if even that. Wal-Mart here in Texas accepts pesos, and I do not haear anyone bashing them, and when I was in Niagara Falls, NY, the Wal-Mart there along with Target and K=Mart accepted Canandian currency. A business has to pay for their overhead, employees, and they also have their rent and utilities, so leave things alone. And I bet if these people who are against companies accepting pesos, happened to run across a backpack or suitcase with millions in pesos, tell me they would'nt be trying to exchange the money??!!??

Answer 5

First off, I wouldn't say that Hispanics are the majority here in Texas.

If Pizza Patron or any other business decides to accept foreign currency that is their business.

Most hotels and many other establishments already to this.

If it bothers you, don't spend your money there.

Answer 6

seem American $$ are common around the realm by way of fact is the money that run interior the fee-efficient international,,, however the Mexican peso!!! that's only solid in Mexico. My question is ,,, is this Mexican employer is area of the Aztlec, l. a. Raza, ACLU, the Mexican government, and so on. which attempt to reconquer the southwest of usa. If we the yank citizen allowed this like no longer something is happening, then we could constantly all throw in our tower and supply up with this unlawful subjects. You asked,,, what's my subject with this people who come into my u . s . a ., thinking that they might do what ever is of their techniques and us the yank people could common, as solid otherwise we the people are racist?? What the hell is incorrect with you which you asked me that query??

Answer 7

hell no i see it as only a stunt by that business man

lots of areas in United States of America. where the majority of the population is from some other country want start using every currency here!!!
look at Miami majority of people are Cubans want use Cuban Peso there.
Ann Arbor has a large population from Iraq think there should use the Iraqi dinar
the original 13 colonies states that broke away from England should have a option to use the Pound!

Answer 8

I don't see a problem with them accepting pesos. That in itself does nothing to make the illegal immigration issue worse. There are many border and tourist towns throughout the world that accept foreign currency to make it easier for tourist to spend money and get services, no big deal. In order to fix immigration we must first and foremost enforce our immigration laws.

Answer 9

I guess a business can do what they want to do, as long as they're being legal. Coming from Alaska, I got a lot of Canadian coins and accepted them for our business all the time. However, when I'd try to give change to tourist with Canadian change, they'd freak out about how it wasn't worth as much as the American equivalent.

Answer 10

I don't see it as being that big of a deal. Up to the individual companies what they will accept as payment. If they're willing to monitor the daily exchange rates and are willing to hassle with the process of exchanging foreign currencies, I say let 'em. Not a cause for any sort of governmental intervention anyway...
