I like the addition of yet. I will try that and act surprised when they say no. Then I can say something along the lines of "that's odd, I thought most small businesses would be accepting Bitcoin by now as the transaction fees are much cheaper than visa or mastercard and they are getting paid in an asset that goes up in value. Oh well, maybe you should look into it".
Acting surprised when someone doesn't know something or didn't do something is an underrated tactic for behavior manipulation

That is a good one. It puts them on the edge of thinking they could make more money because they would not have to deal with customers fumbling around, looking for payment methods.

Well I think this particular tactic is subtle enough that I'd consider it licit.

Yes, the ends and the means conundrum? Gotta watch out for that!!

I almost lied and said "other stores around here are taking it", but I wasn't prepared for the inevitable " who? "
Yes, playing the greed card works better, this way, too.
