So I pay in cash most times at restaurants, saves time, and no one knows how much is in my wallet anyways.

One time i was so excited about the day, getting out of military, that i used a $50 for a $5 tip. . . but that's ok, its was a great day!

not an accountant guy

I agree. But, to add another point, if you do get robbed, handing over a couple hundred bucks may actually save your life.
