Some shithead "libertarian" would come around saying some shit like, "You chose to work there! They should be able to fuck your spouse if they want to!"
Wouldn't it look bad if a Microsoft employee came to your company to demo a new product, and they whipped-out their Apple Macbook to give the presentation?
Not really, given that Microsoft doesn't make computers. Now, if it were Dell salesmen that whipped out a Macbook, then that might raise a few eyebrows.
Ok? We now have more microbreweries in the US than we did prior to Prohibition. Just about anywhere you go, you can get a US brewed, US owned, possibly even locally owned/brewed, and far better tasting beer than anything from the major breweries.
However, I will second the suggestion to brew your own. Homebrewing is awesome!
You can be up on your high horse all you want, but yes, the merchants would miss out on customers who don't have cash at the time. Because odds are they're not going to go get cash and then come back. They're gonna go somewhere else.
No, it's very true. Gold's only real use is as a conductor. Everything else is based on the "Ooooo, Shiny!" factor, which can easily go away. Gold's value is only where it is today because people say that's what it's worth. Just like you say happens with fiat dollars.
1). A lot of these fundraiser things are outside grocery stores and such. And most places like that will allow you to get cash back after using a debit card.
2). That's what the Square credit card reader is for.
Except I don't pay those per transaction fees; the merchant does.
And you can say something about, "They could offer lower prices if they didn't have to pay these!", but you're ignoring the fact that if they didn't, they would lose out on a lot of customers, and have to jack up prices to make up the difference anyway.
Yes, there are consequences for CEOs who don't perform.
No, there aren't. A CEO who doesn't perform gets to resign with a golden parachute, getting millions of dollars in severance pay. Then they simply lay low for a few months, and then take another CEO job at another company.

I would assume there is some kind of exception for sales staff that sells software for OS X.

Hell, Microsoft has more stuff in the iOS App Store than they have in their own App Store.

Except that hasn't been true for a long time.
Not everyone needs or cares for a docking station. And there are several 3rd party ones available, if you really, really, really need one.
Yeah, I can't accept an example involving a C-level employee. They are a unique case all their own.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to do
I think we all know that reality has proven that statement completely false.
You can be up on your high horse all you want, but yes, the merchants would miss out on customers who don't have cash at the time. Because odds are they're not going to go get cash and then come back. They're gonna go somewhere else.
But part of the reason why gold has value is that it is a scarce resource
Not really. If nobody thought gold was shiny, nobody would give two shits if it was scarce or plentiful.
Gold (and to a lesser extent silver) is simply the best materials to use as commodity money.
And your only reasoning for this is little more than, "because I say so."
Using beer cans would not make sense
Why not? Because you don't have any?
No, it's very true. Gold's only real use is as a conductor. Everything else is based on the "Ooooo, Shiny!" factor, which can easily go away. Gold's value is only where it is today because people say that's what it's worth. Just like you say happens with fiat dollars.

Same way they currently handle power outages? Many retailers already have procedures in place for such an occasion.

Except they have before, and they will again. The alternative is turning down a bunch of paying customers, or worse, starting a riot.
First one, then the other.
And not real money.
Gold is no more "real money" than anything else. The only value gold has is what people think it's worth, just like regular dollars.
We need to get back to sound money that "connects" to something of constant value, like gold or land.
No, we don't.
Some bullshit reason about private companies being "more accountable", "more efficient", or some other shit that hasn't actually been proven.

Can't get jobs back till we get rid of the guy blocking jobs, Obama.
Job growth under Obama has been far higher than under the last few years of Bush, when the recession started. Next time, try using facts.
So recognizing that there are problems with Capitalism means that we have to go straight to the other extreme? Pull your head out of your ass.
Personally, I love working over 40
No, you don't. You feel you have to in order to get ahead or even just keep your job.
It costs more to have two employees who work 40 hours each than one who works 80 hours.
Only because the capitalist asshats have somehow made it acceptable that they don't have to pay employees for the overtime they work.
Here's the huge difference on why this really isn't about you: YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR YOUR OVERTIME.
Not to mention, I would posit that if you have to do overtime to make ends meet, you're living beyond your means.
