I really appreciate the cash-only customers in front of me at the grocery checkout, as they wait until the cashier tells them the total before they take out their wallet/purse, dig through it for bills, then take out their coin purse and assemble exact change to hand the cashier.

Yeah, thanks folks.

Dittos for the people who wait until their purchase is rung up, then take out their checkbook and proceed to write their check.

And you never had to wait in line behind a buyer that searches and decides “which” card to use and which one is not maxed-out, or forgetting their PIN number?

My gripe about the plastic people, or the check people.

I'm handing over the cash as the total is rung up.

I can also slap leather with the best of them, too. I don't do coin change - just give them bills.

You don't really want the gruberment having the luxury of 100% electronic cash. If you get on the wrong side of your Tyrant Masters, you'll be eating grass, because that's the only green you'll have.
