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.
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.
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
