I used to be annoyed at "cash only" places. Now they're out of business. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 14:46 4
- I haven't seen that here. a couple of restaurants finally added back cards, but I still know of at least a couple of cash-only places. - b. Jul 9, 14:51 3
  - Well, I also don't get out much any more. But I haven't gone into a blind seething rage about it lately. - Beryllium Jul 9, 14:57 2
    - Oh! But this weekend I did use cash. Spent about ten bucks on hot dogs and pop at the strawberry festival. - Beryllium Jul 9, 15:03 1
      - I'm totally with you on the surprise aspect. I recently wrote a yelp review about one place, in part because I was annoyed there wasn't a notice - b. Jul 9, 15:11
I used to be annoyed by the card payers who slowed the line down waiting for the machine to read, process, sign. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 9, 14:46
I don't think we're yet in a "no cash" world, but if you choose to use cash, you're just seeking to inconvenience yourself and others. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 14:39 3
- If they didn't have a minimum at stores I'd use my card more but a lot of stores require you spend $10 to use a card. - Krusty Jul 9, 15:48 1
  - oh yah, I forgot about that here, too. mostly smaller/indie stores; so I'd be likely to do cash anyway, but sometimes not. - b. Jul 9, 16:07
- that's not always true. I almost always use a card, except for small, local businesses. - b. Jul 9, 14:47
