"BELLEVUE, Neb. - On a Tuesday in late March, the lunch-rush line at John's Grecian Delight is out the door. The packed house is armed with an appetite and, as one patron put it, 'cash. Lots of cash.'
Paper money, because for more than two weeks, John Sakkas and his daughter, Dina, have been without a working credit card machine, with both internet and the phone line down.
'Since March 6, every day, we've called CenturyLink. Apparently, there's a cable that they need to repair or replace, and it never got escalated. So we're still waiting on CenturyLink to come,' said Dina Sakkas."
