Cash is becoming worthless? Says who?

Cash is required by my barber, and by Guida's Hot Dogs in Middlefield, CT, and appreciated all waitresses and by many a mom and pop that have high card transaction fees.

Pay small businesses in cash whenever you can. Save the credit card for the big box and online transactions.

My wife went to a local (small town) car repair place in a dusty hole in the wall for some very minor repairs.

When she pulled out her credit card he offered her a ten percent discount for cash.

She was happy to oblige.

I suspect that avoiding credit card fees were just part of what was on his mind.

Lol.
