What's weird about it? Most businesses take credit cards.
From my experience they prefer payment that isn’t easily disputed / claimed as fraud. Don’t get me wrong I was more than happy to get the points, it’s just unusual, since they do typically prefer cash / cash adjacent
They prefer cash to avoid the IRS, it’s so THEY can do the fraud.
Legit businesses don’t need to worry about being scammed since any chargebacks get investigated. A receipt, a picture of the tattoo and a signed waiver, zero chance of the fraud working out in the scammers favour.
