Do they accept cash for things like DoorDash, ClickList (grocery pickup at Kroger), rental cars, hotels or airline tickets? And ordering online must be a pain. Most companies no longer do C.O.D. Sending money home to the Philippines takes 15 seconds with an app and debit card. In a store, wastes 30 minutes or more waiting for customer service to process. And at least at Safeway, couldn’t do it after 5pm.
Maybe a conservative credit card or card processor will be better
That’s why I keep one debit/credit card for such instances, especially travel.
Otherwise, I pay cash as much as possible.
