You’re Gluten Free, But American Express Free Too

I decided to check out a restaurant while I was in Philadelphia to kill some time before an Alumni event. It was a new restaurant that had just opened so I decided to check it out. I look at the menu to get a class of wine, which is what the place specializes in and I noticed it had Gluten-Free pizza. I decided to try it out because I thought it was a good idea since heaven knows if I will be able to eat more than just s salad. The pizza was good for what it was, definitely outsourced and bought from a vendor, but for me, pizza is pizza yum yum. I go to pay and I asked if American Express was accepted. The answer was No. I was very dumbfounded by this response because I did spend $12 on a fancy glass of wine. How could you not accept American Express?

I understand that many businesses do not accept American Express. I have an American Express card because I am able to get Starpoints that can go towards hotel stays at Starwood Hotels. So when I cannot use my American Express card, I find it as a loss.

There is a restaurant in my town that serves Gluten-Free pizza, but once again, it does not accept American Express. The part that saddens me about this is that now I am less inclined to support small businesses with Gluten-Free menus because of the inability to use American Express.
