Reading this from Nigeria, the Square part stood out to me too, but I get it. Getting normal people to walk in and pay with bitcoin at all is the hard part, and a 21% discount is a strong nudge. Over here most people meet bitcoin through P2P apps and Lightning wallets, not shops, so a busy bar where it's just a normal payment option is something I'd love to see copied. Next step is cutting out the middleman so the sats go straight to the bar.
