I was talking with a friend the other day about the square and how she liked it for her family's salon. Slowly the conversation morphed to eating healthy and how 5 years ago there was a failed attempt to make it so food stamps could be used at farmers markets in the area.
Then we both thought, could you not use the square? So many of our farmers market vendors use it anyways. And this article proves that in someway they categorize sellers.
Do you think it would help food stamps to become healthier?
Oh and can someone make the link clicky I am mobile.

What's a 'square' ? -
It is a small square that fits in the head phone jack in iPhones, iPads, and androids. It allows you to swipe a credit card and there are no fees only a 2.75% transaction charge which is less than most banks.

Around here anything from a mom and pop comic shop to food trucks are using it. Any time you worry that a place could be cash only I start seeing square signs.
