If you owned a store and your credit card machine stopped working, would you wait hours/days before trying to figure out what was going on?

I have owned a business where the credit cards couldn't be processed from time to time. It happens. You just keep taking orders and wait for the problem to be resolved - then process your charges.

That's exactly my point.
