> [@llink78](#): > > I want to know who does not have $3 on them. Even in change? Rule of thumb is to always have some sort of cash with you. Even if is a $50 bill tucked away for “emergencies” a few years ago, Thanksgiving Eve i was helping a friend move from buffalo to Lewiston. Went to go home over the GI bridge, just to find out i left my wallet at his house. Luckily it was 3am and the lady asked for my id, which i obv didnt have after i said i had no cash on me, and there was a line forming behind so she just said go. shit happens. ---

> [@honda4life](#): > > Lol Timmy hoes didn’t accept plastic before but now they do??? They always accepted it here… Up until late 2010 they were cash only across Canada. There was a intermediate period when they accepted their own gift cards and some MasterCard quick pay thing in addition to cash if memory serves. Now they accept mostly anything. ---

Always keep a buried $20 in the wallet for the sneak out/cab ride home. ---

She did not tell me this thinking I would call her if there was an emergency and she could surprise me with the lifesaving $5. At some point in the future I got pulled over and when the officer asked for registration I just gave him the holder without looking in it. He then found what must have looked like a incredibly insulting bribe. Thankfully he believed my story about my mother and did not arrest my ass. another nominee for best post ---

I always have cash on me. I’ll use the card when I can but don’t like using it to buy $5-10 worth of stuff and a mom-n-pop establishment. That said, I had my septic pumped last week and they only accepted cash or check. My checkbook was somewhere at my old house and I certainly didn’t have $250+ cash on me. I had to meet the guy at a convenience store across town to use their ATM. Stupid. ---

I ALWAYS carry cash. My wife however, not so much. Countless stories how she got bound up cashless and complaining to me. ---

Going on a few hundred mile journey through another country with a rental car and not even a couple bucks in your pocket? Got out of using cash at all for while but having tenants requires it…the ones that pay cash always need change…so you have a bunch of 100s and a 5…thanks a lot [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-york-state-thruway-authority-unpaid-toll/234598.md?page=1)
