Homeless Guy Takes Credit Cards

I’ll bet homeless people hear "Sorry, don't have any cash on me," a lot.  But there's a guy in Detroit who's going to make you get more creative with your excuses.
Abe Hagenston has been homeless in Detroit for about seven years, living under an overpass.  And he recently took his panhandling to the next level . . . by accepting CREDIT CARDS.
"I take Visa, Mastercard, American Express.  I'm the only homeless guy in America who can take a credit card.  It's all done safely and securely."
Abe uses a cell phone with a small credit card swiping attachment from Square.com.  It costs about $10, and they charge a small percentage fee.
Even with his ability to take credit cards, he says his panhandling hasn't been going that well.  He's trying to get new glasses, but hasn't gotten enough money to afford them yet.
