I did a Cheesecake Factory shop years ago and had to chase my cash payment. Shortly after, they switched to paying with gift cards. If they went belly up, I say good riddance. The fact that they couldn't pay with cash, but only gift cards, speaks volumes about their ability to manage cash and run a business. The fact that I had to chase a payment also makes me biased, I know. But I refuse to work for gift cards and find it insulting that MS Companies think it's acceptable. So again, good riddance!
