Regina Butcher, a customer service representative with the city of Fayetteville's Billing and Collections Division, right, uses a credit card machine to process a payment for a utility customer at the city administration building. The City Council is considering dropping the 2.5 percent convenience fee normally applied to customers' bills for the use of a credit card when making a payment.
The women in the office at city hall laughed when I showed up to get a photo of one of them using the credit card machine. The line of folks wanting to pay their utility bills had apparently stretched out the door before I arrived, and nearly every one wanted to pay using a credit card. Not that I was there and wanting to shoot a photo, the line of people disappeared and the customers they did have were all paying with cash. I was there for a while until finally someone paid with a card.
I laughed and told them that I was really bad luck when it came to things like this. If I needed a shot of a bicycle on a trail for instance, I might see a unicycle and a tank drive by before someone rode past on a bike.
