New Service

Really Freeman, gouging - look at the percentages for the convenience offered.
If you are accusing me of swindling, I propose you offer some evidence, else you are merely a slanderer.
I will not stand for my reputation to be attacked groundlessly by an those ignorant of the facts. It was decided that gold and silver trade bars are not specie, but then, I would not expect one of the ignorati to be able to make the distinction.

Truly, if the service offered by the BoT is so superior, my venture will not take off. Time will tell.

Tobias - I understand your concern, but I call it a Drawing Account with deliberation. It can only be drawn down with the owner's permission. That means, Sasha, that unless I have such by the account holder, or the account holder's permission, no others may draw upon the account.

Merikh - the solution most certainly is not to take orders later. Breakfast starts serving at 9, with orders being taken from around quarter of the hour. As to starving, you presume too much. The kitchen has always offered sustenance to those in hunger, usually yogurt or some other food. I challenge you to find a single instance where a person in hunger, assuming they did not have special dietary requirements, was turned away while food was available. As to bartering, please explain the imperative that you endorse to have me spend the time to redeem their "pledge."

Could I ask for a reason why it can't be pushed back an hour?

The only response was "the solution most certainly is not to take orders later". I don't see a problem with pushing it to 10 if you are concerned about turning people away since the bank isn't open yet.
Or is it because you worry about competing with Marketfaire which potentially could steal customers?

As to bartering, you listed very useful things. Why would you not use them if people wish to pay with them? That is how trading works is it not? I have something you could use, you have something I can use. Why do you need to redeem their "pledge" in gold?

Merikh,

I do not presume to support the business, or get involved in this discussion of it, but we cannot push back to 10, if we wish to continue preparing feast on time for Saturday night.

Merikh - I am concerned with assuring people can get three healthy and filling meals a day in the inn.
You suggest I accept goods in trade, which will require me to spend more time ridding myself of them, as the BoT does not accept them for deposit. Why not ask them, rather than attempting to shift the burden to me.

Getting up both mornings is sufficient so far as I am concerned, but if you do not think so, perhaps you could join me and advance the coin for all those you are championing? If you prefer another method, demonstrate your ability to prepare Sunday's breakfast and I will be delighted to turn it over to you. At that time, you can institute your own method of being paid.

I have a question. How is this not a gross conflict of interest?
Mr. Haroldson's claim is that this service ensures that you have coin available during breakfast hours, in order to purchase your greasy meats and dry pancakes. Yet he is the one who sets the rules for the breakfast service.
As he has stated above, at Haroldson's direction, the Dragon's Claw will no longer be accepting trade goods for breakfast. Of course, this is intended to force people into utilizing his private banking service.
Using a public service he provides under the direction of Mr. Kane, using the Dragon's Claw kitchen facilities, to market his own private "bank" seems to be a violation of good faith and misuse of assets.
Very interesting. Very interesting indeed.
