Standing in her children's play centre in Nicholls, Let's Play Indoor Playground & Cafe owner Caitlin Beaton told customers in a video on her business page she needed to run 687 birthday parties a year just to cover the $240,000 in rent and GST.
Mrs Beaton said she normally avoided political discussions on her business page, but felt compelled to ask families to pay in cash so her small business could survive another cost imposed by the federal government.
The cost she was referring to was the removal of all credit card surcharges, a federal measure scheduled to take effect from October.
