According to General Store member Tauri St. Claire, the General Store’s main goal is to create the most accessible environment for students. Members said that accepting TritonCash will make lead to easier transactions.
UCSD graduate and G-Store member Joe Virgilio suggested this change at one of the store’s weekly meetings early last quarter.
Virgilio runs the record store within the General Store.
“Everyone was really for the idea… we decided the benefit of the Triton Cash demographic outweighed the cost of installing the new machine,” member Tess O’Hanrahan said.
After approximately a quarter of discussion, the General Store and Triton Card Accounts Services came to an agreement culminating in the installation of the new machine inside the General Store.
“A lot of students are strictly on Triton Cash for whatever reason, so this makes the G-store more available to them,” St. Claire said.
