It seems NFT-themed Bored & Hungry restaurant no longer accepts crypto

The Los Angeles Times reported On Friday, the recently opened NFT-themed burger joint Bored & Hungry no longer accepts cryptocurrency as payment for its food.

Interrogated, one Bored & Hungry employee told the Los Angeles Times “Not today – I don’t know.” The individual did not give any indication as to when the decision was made to cut crypto from the payment options menu, nor did they know whether crypto payments would return.

Bored & Hungry initially launched back in April of this year. At the time, one worker told the Los Angeles Times that the majority of its customers seemed to not care about crypto payment options, also noting that customers were generally indifferent to “the restaurant’s loyalty to the crypto cause.”

Another owner of the Bored & Hungry restaurant told the Los Angeles Times “People want to keep their ethereum. They won’t want to use it.” Client Richard Rubalcaba said, “I don’t know how [crypto purchases] would work, with the crash. “

Many of the restaurant’s patrons have stated that they are not stubborn crypto enthusiasts, and simply frequent the establishment for the food. Client Jessica Perez said, “We rate this up with In-N-Out, maybe even better.”

Changes to the site’s payment policies seem to be in line with the general crypto and macroeconomic meltdown across the globe. But never be afraid, hungry crypto users! You can still visit Chipotle, which began accepting crypto payments earlier in June via Flexa. Several countries face relentless regulation and scrutiny and there are contagion problems in the crypto market.

Cointelegraph contacted Bored and Hungry owner Andy Nguyen for explanations of the restaurant’s crypto acceptance, but received no response prior to publication.
