Yes, I do and get a 3% discount at my two favorite restaurants because of that fact!!!OK Folks, Here is their answer,
"YOU PAY IN CASH".
I've noticed it too, just paying with a Grant. They have trouble getting change from the drawers and this was at Rite-Aid.OK Folks, Here is their answer,

I was born in 71 but still remember how to dial one. One of my grandmothers was a switchboard operator and kept a rotary phone at her house until she actually moved into a retirement home. I think she just liked it. I found the sound of the dialing kind of soothing in a way. Slower, maybe calmer, times.But can you dial a rotary phone?
When I had that old phone, EVERY single person took multiple dialings to get it right. None had the patience to let the rotor turn all the way back, before dialing the next number.
I talk to many students on the campus and it's important because they are ahead of us in small terms of banking. They don't use a bank the way we do. Most of the transactions in China seem to use some segment of We-Chat, or Tiktok, all of their transactions use their phones. They say the Elders still use cash but only because the don't understand or trust phones.I've noticed it too, just paying with a Grant.

ma Bell went out of business?The phone had a sticker on the bottom that said "Property of Ma Bell". I think they went out of business in 1982.
I was born in '62 and there was a pub that had one. I was just having a coke and a burger but it still took me 3 times to get it right.

Careful now. I know what year you were born and NEITHER of us is far from being an OLD FART. Don’t jinx it man.The only people routinely paying in cash are the illegals. And they pay in $100 bills. You cant make this stuff up. Good times to be a mex or guat on the US taxpayer tit.
The people writing checks are universally over 70 years old. When I’m checking out, I see these shaky old farts and blue haired old ladies struggle to write a check. Then comes the inevitable ID check, which entails more fishing in a pocket or purse. Takes them a good five minutes.
I write two checks a month, because I have no choice (rent and water/sewer). The rest I use debit cards for. I have apps for accounts that the debit cards draw from that alert me every time money leaves my account via a debit card. While not perfect, it’s a pretty good system.
I use checks for certain transactions, like paying my town taxes or buying a car for example. Some places will pass on any fees for electronic processing and that is why I still use checks. I doubt the school system even teaches how to write checks anymore.I use checks all the time, what's wrong with checks?
gawd, I am so behind.
Funny story. I bought hubby a '95 GMC Sierra in 2013. It's standard. One night not long after we got it, some lil 'Yute decided to try to steal it. Hubby heard something outside, so, he looked out the window. He saw the 'Yute look in the window of the truck, exclaim, "$#!+," and walk away. He saw the shifter and couldn't do it. It's a theft deterrent.I can drive a stick
Neither do I.Don't have any tattoo
I keep having to read middle English to my son each night. They had some interesting turns of phrase.Great, but how many use old English now?
But I'm only 45 and I pay in cash.OK Folks, Here is their answer,
"YOU PAY IN CASH".
OMG I am so using "copralite" as my new insult word. I didn't even think of it as one when I first learned of it. I mean, how do they know it's fossilized poo of an ancient tribe that lived in this cave?A cash only dinosaur, here, too. I was always wondering why some cashiers treated me like a coprolite.
I've noticed it too, just paying with a Grant. They have trouble getting change from the drawers and this was at Rite-Aid.
Yeah, we would need a cool off so make an excuse to run across street, and go in trailer.I've worked on those. Typical two 3 ton to two 5 ton ac units wired in parallel. The design was most excellent, the Return Air was sucked from floor grates around the premature floor grates. And it dumped the cold air into the ceiling ducted ducts. Two stage cooling and the second stage was the second unit if need be.
Awesome designed and worked great. Easy to service and also had low ambient controls so we could run the AC at temperatures lower than designed.
Guess we're illegals, then. Who knew, been here since the 1600's. LOL. (I'm really old)The only people routinely paying in cash are the illegals. And they pay in $100 bills. You cant make this stuff up. Good times to be a mex or guat on the US taxpayer tit.

It's called early (really early) onset Alzheimer's.Funny thing I notice on Campus is that the students can't tell the time on a clock. They use their phones to tell what time it is. "If the small pointer is at the 2, and the long pointer is at the 10 it might be 10 minutes to 2", and they are not sure if they got it right when they tell me....and these people are really smart!
No hablo inglesNo habla englais
I don't consider this .............Miss Ireland in any way, shape or form.....

Never had a credit card or a debit card, and don't even know how to use them. Observing those that have them, there appears to be a common routine of moving the right hand forward then back, forward then back, repeated a few more times, followed by some mild cursing.
When I think of girls in pageants representing Ireland this more in line to what I thinkWhy, looks exactly like the Irish living next door?
The Beast will not be the Husky, but they're moving in the foretold direction.I talk to many students on the campus and it's important because they are ahead of us in small terms of banking.

At the UW campus; cash stopped this year. Everything is Husky card account or credit card now. There used to be Pinkerton armored vehicles around the campus, but they are gone now. There is virtually no cash on the campus and it swells to nearly 80k people during the campus year everyday.

Not some Bantu import...............ugh! (Being Irish and it ticks me off when they pick minorities in a obvious defined demographic country.......or at least it used to be one)
Do you ever think a dot Indian should be Miss Sweden?........or a tall blond blue eyed woman as Miss India?
It takes (read this right) all the diversity out of the pageant when they have AA pageant contestants for given countries who carry a tradition of whom is its native stock should be representing their country.
This is the exact style of coin purse I pay for all my small purchases. I keep folded bills on one side, (lined up by denomination) and assorted coins on the other side.OK Folks, Here is their answer,
"YOU PAY IN CASH".
What's TWD?My #1 sign that I'm not keeping up with the times is that I didn't know what "TWD" was when Dennis posted it the other day
I am of Irish stock as well. That pisses me off, too.When I think of girls in pageants representing Ireland this more in line to what I think

I have a wallet with a coin pouch as well. I have a divider in the bill compartment. I keep cash on one side and goldbacks on the other. I keep trying to use them. Ppl don't understand value.This is the exact style of coin purse I pay for all my small purchases. I keep folded bills on one side, (lined up by denomination) and assorted coins on the other side.
When paying, if I don't have the exact amount including pennies I go over with a nickel or dime. Not to pat myself on the back but when that happens, I usually tell the cashier to keep the change.

Ah but do you know your ring? Long, two shorts, short long short, short short long, long long short? Eight party lines are fun. And some always knew their neighbors business.I was born in 71 but still remember how to dial one. One of my grandmothers was a switchboard operator and kept a rotary phone at her house until she actually moved into a retirement home. I think she just liked it. I found the sound of the dialing kind of soothing in a way. Slower, maybe calmer, times.
I use electronic check for property tax. It costs me a 40¢ fee. While annoying it costs more to mail a check and still more to drive 10 miles to pay in person.I use checks for certain transactions, like paying my town taxes or buying a car for example. Some places will pass on any fees for electronic processing and that is why I still use checks. I doubt the school system even teaches how to write checks anymore.
I confess: GUILTY.
II have ONE credit card, which I had to get for internet purchases. I have never paid one penny in interest in the years since I got it, because I pay it off every month.
I was being facetiousIf you have a smartphone you already know. If you don’t, it doesn't matter.
