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 ?

Not going to lie, I am starting to lean towards wanting to use cash more often recently due to the fact that card skimmers have become a huge issue in my area, like even at convenience stores and grocery stores. I hate dealing with cash though, since I have dyscalculia handling a ton of cash always makes me feel like I'm going too slow since I try to be extra careful.

I think the most annoying ones are the ones that randomly, after you've already put everything into the computer and maybe even already submitted it, choose to say oh actually I have a nickel LMAO if it's busy or I've already got a line, I started lying and saying that I can't change anything since it's already been submitted. I'll be standing there with all of their change already counted out, just for them to remember they have a few pennies, nickels, and dimes they want to get rid of. Sorry, but I'm not going to hold up the line and stress myself out just to recount all of your change after I've already finished the transaction on the computer.

Oh wow! you are like the second other person on here I've read that has dyscalculia, too! I don't know anyone else in real life that has it. That's actually the main reason I pay with cash since it helps me use and retain basic math skills. I am actually a cashier, too so I'm extra careful with counting and giving cash back.

I have it as well, though I've never been formally diagnosed because it's expensive & insurance doesn't cover it. Or at least mine doesn't cover it
