Is using cash no longer normal?
Sure it is.
If you hate America!

Because books.
I just took cash out the other day, because I hate running into WaWa or for fast food and using my card if it's less than $5. I know I *can* do it, it just feels wrong.
Anyway, I like cash. Much easier to really see how much you're spending.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So New Orleans is full of terrorist small business owners? This place is still largely a cash-based economy. My *GP* only takes cash or check, no credit cards.
The coffee store around the corner only takes cash and doesn't serve decaf; I suspect they tend towards anarchy.

In all seriousness, I am suspicious of places that don't take cards, I actually assume they are doing something dodgy with taxes.

Because I know my wife, I have bypassed traditional chocolate V-Day treats and went hard through the Trader Joe's cheese aisle.
Happy Cheesentine, Jacqueline!
I hope you like the stilton.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's pretty common for Brooklyn restaurants to be cash-only, especially if they don't have a takeout/delivery business.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They probably are, but they are also saving a significant amount of money on bank fees. My old hairdresser only charged the tax if you were paying by card, which I'm sure was a combination of hiding income but also passing along the expense the credit card vendors charged them.

omg I just blew up (on email) at My Nemesis. She claimed a contractor deliverable that I've been waiting for for eighteen months had already been delivered. When I pointed out that it hadn't been, and that if it were my contract, I wouldn't be hiring again anyone who sat on a final deliverable for eighteen months, she called me unprofessional and offensive.
