frostbitmic Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As the owner of a retail establishment I know how much it costs me per month in bank charges from credit card purchases, which of course figure into the price I charge for what I sell. Therefore I always use cash when dealing with small business'. Another good reason to always make sure you have cash on hand is if there is a power, phone line or internet outage where a business can't accept cards. Think back to the power grid going down in the north east 15-20 years ago. I could sell on a cash only basis until it got too dark to see what I was doing. People that just had cards were ***** out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never taken a check in my entire life. Look, men in my vocation can't afford being burnt by a paper trail. Do you know what this is? It's a license to steal. It's a map for thieves. Get your account number, they find your social. They find your social, they got you. Ilsa: Who are they, exactly? Guerrero: Well, uh.. me... and men of my ilk. Ilsa: Well as I've explained to your colleagues, I'm running a legitimate business here. So take your check, deposit it in a secure banking facility, report it to the Federal government, and... wait for it... pay taxes on it. Guerrero: Taxes?

PastaJoe Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I prefer to use cash for purchases or meals under $20. Anything more is credit card. And I write checks and mail them when I owe money to individuals. But all monthly bills are set up to autopay from my credit union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind folks at the soda shoppe still cash my checks, I’ll have you know! I was there right after the birth of the ATM. I was young, and very poor, so this young banker frequently volunteered to be on call to service our ATM’s after hours. I got like $50/week to be on call 24/7 and fix whatever went wrong. I was RICH!

Bad Things Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I never carry around any cash. Actually, I take that back... I only carry cash with me during the summer months, when local farmers offer their produce with "honesty boxes" at the end of the driveways. (Just stocked up on fresh berries and cherries last week.)

Nextmanup Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I pay for almost everything in life with plastic and have done so for years now. I often go 6 months or more with very little cash in my wallet and no real need for the little cash I have. It's different when I'm in Europe, as it is still hard to get by without cash there. Lots of people simply won't accept payment in any form other than cash, particularly at restaurants. Europe is kind of backward or old fashioned in that manner.

LabattBlue Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I volunteer to help out a local charity at the Walden Galleria during the holiday season. You'd be surprised how many people say, "I have no cash on me". Not sure if they really have no cash on them, or were just lying to keep from donating. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
