A few years ago I had a pile of potential Christmas gifts in my hands in a golf store in Sumter Landing. I went to check out and the cashier pointed to a sign on the counter that said “Credit Card Only”. I put the pile on the counter, turned and walked out of the store.

Yet you need cash to buy a lottery ticket.

Cashless
If they want to go cashless I hope they add that the busyness can't add a fee for using your card.

The government wants their share, and you can't blame them.
Just THINK about all of the tax revenue lost when johnny the businessman doesn't declare the millions made in cash over a 5,10, 20, 30 year span. Also, if the gov't can curtail cash's importance, JUST REALIZE how that would impact the DRUGS pouring into America. And, Absolutely correct, What happens when the grid goes out??? Cash is King... and I'm in my early 60's. |

But if you have to go somewhere to cash your check, you could deposit it in the bank - and use the corresponding debit card instead of wads of bills in your wallet. Debit cards are accepted pretty much everywhere. They're not as secure as credit cards, but cash is also not as secure. Pickpockets still exist afterall. It's not hard to lift a wallet from someone's pocket or purse if they're appropriately distracted. Plus, with systems like Samsung Pay, Gpay, and Apple Pay, you can load your debit card info to the system and use your phone/smartwatch/tablet to pay for purchases. The fun thing about that, is that it delivers the number disguised as a different number. Thieves will see the disguise, not the actual credit card number. |
The problem with "tap to pay" is that many merchants don't use it, including Walmart.

I would almost totally eliminate using cash if restaurants didn't require that you to allow them to take your credit card into the back room. I always use cash in restaurants.
