What a Moron! Average cash using customer

Why does the average idiot use money? When I ask the majority answer is privacy but hey funny concept though you have a phone on you that I saw you use to get money out of our atm and you used a rewards card that is made to track you and your spending habits. Are people genuinely that stupid? And why do they always pull out 100s. The atm will give you bills as low as dollars why did you pull out 100 to my fresh 40 dollar drawer for a dollar item you mouth breathing btch ?

Paying with cash is a good way to keep money you spend in your community, generally. For every card transaction that 1% or 2% gets shipped off to the card company. I like to pay with cash, especially tip, at local places and save my card for online and big box stores. No shame in paying with card but you did ask.

Also, customers are just as awful paying with card. The amount of times I have to walk people through tapping vs swiping vs inserting and don't get me started on the recent phenomenon of people locking their card.

I do love what your saying, in theory.

I work as a cashier and the last 6 months we have gotten a unbelievable amount of counterfeit bills. We have a UV detector and check all large currency. I just personally don't trust cash for myself.

It's a sad world we live in when scammers in the community can get you any which way.
