very amusing, Carl

I’m not laughing.

We take cash. But we don’t give change.

My retirement income gets deposited to my checking account. I seldom carry cash anymore because when I do have it, I always find a reason to spend it. Unless I go to the bank or get ‘cash back’ when using my debit card, I just don’t have cash on me.

Well, we sure aren’t gonna take your cardigan.

It’s amusing when someone has only one card with them and it doesn’t work, but they also don’t have any cash.

We’re already there

Consider this: it has gotten difficult in recent years for the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle campaign- so few people carry cash that they have now had to resort to providing terminals for debit transactions at locations.

Also, consider the plight of the homeless: there is a push around here to get the public to register at the bottle depots, drop off their bags of bottles tagged with their ID number without sorting them, then the staff tally it up and make a direct deposit to the client’s bank account. The homeless, with no access to banking, are going to be frozen out.
