"Pizza for Pesos" Controversy

Lou Dobbs would love this one...

Apparently there's a pizza restaurant, Pizza Patron, that has begun accepting Mexican pesos at U.S. locations. The "Pizza for Pesos" initiative has resulted in an increase of 38.4% in the first quarter of this year. Interestingly, however, this franchise isn't setting a precedent. Rather, some companies have been accepting Canadian dollars and Wal-mart has bypassed that whole national currency thing by accepting Mexican pesos at stores along the U.S.-Mexican border.
