(+) Yeah! (+)

So fucking annoying.

Only drug dealers carry cash

Your drug dealer might since they're the only ones that still use cash

Forreal? Haven't really experienced this tbh.

Maybe that's why nobody is responding to my classified listing

Everybody's too lazy to withdraw $5

I feel like small time drug dealers prefer venmo

Shut the fuck up. Cash spreads germs.

legal for ALL debts, public and private.

you okay? Penny for your thoughts

....literally everywhere accepts cash

Legal weed is also cash only.

Lots of small business restaurants and other venues are also cash only. It gets pretty annoying sometimes.

I have never encountered this.

Who carries cash and why?

Yea it's legal for it, but a business is under no legal obligation to accept cash.

Sometimes my Samsung pay app for my phone has issues, meanwhile you can give a strange cash to help you out, but you can't swipe your card on them.

I think most people use apps like venmo or even paypal

Literally not all places. Cashless stores have been around for years, but I think got even more common during the pandemic.

They're awful and should be outlawed.

He's named after a loli. Probably not.

I seldom carry cash these days, like I withdraw $100 in cash from an atm and it lasts me a couple months lol

You know what pisses me off? Gas stations that add a fee for card purchases.

Lol what i only use cash. I walk in and ask you guys still take cash right. If no i leave, no problem.op you mean to tell me you dont know of a single cash only establishment? Everybody knows cash only establisments take cash only to cook the books.

wut? roughly half of my income is cash and i've never not been able to spend it on anything purchased in person.

Cash is annoying, dirty, outdated, and woefully less secure, despite what so many naysayers will tell you. Cards get stolen? I can have them frozen, with my money back by the next day. Wallet full of cash gets stolen? S. O. Fucking L. To say nothing of coins and how obnoxious they are (can only imagine how much money people just lose every year because they lose track of coins).

I keep a couple emergency $20s on hand if I know I'm going through some rural or poorer area, because shops and places around there will often only accept cash (at least for certain transactions) just to avoid the processing fees (or maybe theyre operating under the table; who cares), but otherwise, cards or apps all the way.

Exactly all of this. Especially when PayPal and debit cards exists, theres almost no reason to carry cash these days

i for one welcome our new surveillance state overlords

Cash is by law required to be accepted as legal tender.

Any legit business that tries to deny the use of cash should be fined / punished by the government.

You'd be singing a different tune if you were in Cyprus, back in 2013 -- https://nomadcapitalist.com/finance/offshore/your-bank-account-is-no-longer-sacrosanct/ (It's a lot more difficult to "confiscate" cash, compared to electronic money in banks).

Banking is not secure at all, especially since most countries have passed the same legislation that allowed them to "dip" into Cypriot bank accounts for their own bailout, in the US, EU, and Canada -- https://internationalman.com/articles/will-they-take-all-your-money/
