ChefBeckyD said:Ohhhh - okay!
I do know that there is a Dunkin Donuts right down the street from The Palmer House.....we went there last year for Baskin Robbins Ice Cream...... (it's one of those 2 stores in one places) and it's right next door to a Subway.
Bren706 said:Yeah!! I miss Dunkin Donuts, too! They were in my hometown in Massachusetts, but all we have here in North Carolina is Krispy Kremes. But I think the nearest DD is 30 minutes away, just haven't ventured to find it yet.
Good to know, I will use both cash and TPC credit or my regular debit card that's linked to my biz acct!ChefBeckyD said:Last year I used a combination of cash, and my regular(not PC) credit card......the only thing that went on my PC debit was the UPS shipping to ship everything home. Don't know why you were told the vendors don't like cash......

pcchris said:Back to the topic....I talked to my SD today, and she told me that vendors (well, VENDOR) take the TPC debit card...and don't like cash. (HUH??)
SO, now I don't know how much to bring with me! I'll figure it out, though...just thought I would share what I was told (however, she's also told me that Merrill wouldn't be selling clothing either!) SO, I just don't know!
