walleyed left his heavily defended, virus proof, sanctuary & compound
and made the arduous, perilous 16 mile journey to the hardware store.

We needed a high visibility "FOR SALE" sign to put behind the windshield
of a vehicle i am selling and a few other odds & ends.

Arrived at the store to discover a pair of tables blocking the entrance with
a sign saying employees only allowed in store.

Waited my turn (10 minutes) in line, and was asked what I was picking up,
and a gave her a verbal list of my needed items.

She told me okay and would I be paying by credit Or debit card as
they were not accepting cash for payment.

I took a deep breathe, and asked if she would accept a live chicken in barter
for my needed items as I had no credit or debit card.

She gave me a funny look and I headed back to my truck before I told her
what I thought about her store's policies.

Maybe I'm off base a bit but I don't see where a Virus covered credit or debit
card is any more sanitary than an Andrew Jackson $20.00 dollar bill.

When back home and did what i should have done in the 1st place.
Scrounged up a sharpie magic marker, and a scrap sheet of foam insulation
and drew up a pretty, homemade "FOR SALE" sign for vehicle windshield.

Looks like the "War on Cash" has arrived at my little corner of the world. frown

What does the Trapperman "Brain Trust" think about "NO CASH ACCEPTED" ? frown

No, I'm somewhat coherent.

I typed up the original post and It didn't load.

I refreshed the page numerous times and nothing.

Somewhat annoyed that I typed it back up a 2nd time
and now the 1st version magically appears.

I'm now chalking it up to dementia/virus psychosis !! crazy

Fire away !!! laugh

They are doing that here. Just trying to stay open. The less the employees have to touch the more chance to stay virus free. As soon as one of them tests positive the store will have to be closed for cleaning and all employees that had contact with the infected employee will be in quarantine.

The credit card has touched very few people. No telling how many people have touched the cash over the last ten days.

Yeah but how many cards has the cashier touched? They put up plexiglass barriers at the supermarket and you still have to hand them your card lol.

People just feel the need to do SOMETHING...right/wrong or indifferent, they feel like attempting to do something rather than nothing to avoid scrutiny by some to keep the doors open. My opinion.

Dude this is Walleyed we are talking about here. That 20 dollar bill has probably been in his pocket since the day it was printed and there are probably a couple more in there that have decomposed and turned to peat since he got them. He is not one to be parted from his money easily. laugh

Try getting meds!

Mother-in-law called needing us to get her meds because she doesn't have a card. We had to stay in our car, call in and tell them we were in the parking lot and they bring it out. Then, since she wasn't along they didn't want to give them to us. Grrrrrrrr

Walleyed a debit card is like spending cash.No money in your account,no spendy.No credit card fees.

I live in a town of 1,100 people and I haven't had to hand my debit card to anyone for a few years.I like cash but it is filthy.These are unique times and we are having to do some things differently,for awhile.Look at all the changes we had to make after 911.

Guys,this a bad case of neophobia,plain and simple.

Why didn't you pull out some gold or silver that some seem to think is the answer. I have been cash free for about the past 30 years, except for an occasional Pepsi.
