One place I get sushi gives people who pay cash some percentage off their total (I can't remember what -- 10%, maybe). Which translates into more sushi in mah belleh.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
In all seriousness, I am suspicious of places that don't take cards, I actually assume they are doing something dodgy with taxes.
I know a lot about how my local coffee shop is run. the owner attempted to do other forms of payment-they just cost her too much

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm moving more towards cash, because I find I spend less and am more aware of how much I'm spending when I have to actually hand over money. The only terror involved is the feeling I get when I realize I've run out of cash.
The best way to hide purchases with nefarious intent is to have bought them all with cash in the years previous and tucked them away innocently in an old box in the shed, just in case you might someday need a tarp, nylon rope, and chloroform. Totally legit.

Because books.
There are a couple cash-only places in town here, too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm doing the Chair Dance of Anticipatory Cheese Delight.
Do we need any prosecco, or are we good to go on that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sure it is.
If you hate America!
I don't hate America, I just hate paying with ATM cards. And in my head, most retailers don't accept credit cards for amounts under $10 even though I KNOW that's not true anymore. I just have a hard time unremembering it.

Cheese! I want Cheesentine! </greedy, what filet mignon isn't enough?>
When I woke up from sleeping in, yay, it was totally clear and I was all, "buh?" about calling it a snow day. And now? Total snow chaos! It's snowing up, yo.
I may need to record a video.
Oh, yeah, and I totally terrorist paid for my groceries yesterday. It's an awesome hardcore way of enforcing budget. I would normally just fudge, but since I have the cash monies in my hand, I have to put stuff back if I go over.

I suspect I'll be getting into Downton Abbey soonish. My recent Rupert Graves obsession has me watching the Foresyte Saga, and I feel my historical drama fan waking up.

Grab some on the way home. Are you leaving soon?
