Does any one else pay bill with cash??
The cashier at the Doctors made a comment as so few people these day paid with cash.

A good example.
I don't have an ATM card, haven't for over 10 years.
If I need to go to a bank, I go to a bank and get some cash out.
It is interesting when certain bank systems go down and certain shops can't trade, except with those who have cash.
I was in a Reject shop one time it occurred.

And cash always seems to work overseas as well
All well and good not having cash in adn around home, but do any sort of travel, in Oz or overseas
and I think you are crazy not to have some cash on you.

Hi Vic-i carry cash-all different notes and small change.
Cant use cards at -garage sales -markets -swap meets etc.
Most sellers appreciate getting the right money asked.
At a swap meet an item was priced at 100.00.
Opened the wallet-bloke noticed i had lots of small notes.
Said i could get the item for $75.00-if i paid in $5.00 and $10.00 notes.
It was early in the day and he was running short on change..........................Richo.

Not many market sellers, local fb sellers, garage sales take cards, I carry cash for these as well

When I travel, I always take cash too because if I break down or can't get to an ATM I don't want to be without money and helpless. That old saying 'cash is king' is still true to this day.

The company i used to work for stopped giving checks and went to direct deposit, forcing those who didn't already have one, to get a bank account. Also making it harder to tell if they got your pay right, overtime hours ect. Maybe they will require people to have an RDIF chip injected under their skin if they want to buy gas for their car, or get a driver's license, ect.

I never have cash on me, I always carry my bankcard. I have been caught out a few times with needing cash and not having it, but I won't change my ways. ๐
