Anyone else seeing an uptick in cash sales?

Up and down here, there are times we barely had enough 20's to keep up with breaking hundreds, then there are times the drawer barely has more cash in it then what we opened with.

I'm a cash all the way guy. Some things I have to pay with debit but if I'm standing at the counter I'm using cash.

Sadly it seems opposite around here. Lots of gas stations have started not accepting cash at all. The kids tell me several fast food places won’t take bills over $10 or any cash after X time in the afternoon. It’s bad enough even with the till telling the cashier what change to give back, they have a hard time or can’t even count to the number on their read out. I’ve had checkers tell me to step out of the way, using cash would take to much time and they needed to clear their lines so I left.

I say it a lot but I don’t understand what our world is coming too.

X1000 bud, I feel the same way!

Just got back from travels down southern Ont.A lot of places wont take cash.I only use cash 90% of the time so told a lot of places to shove it.

Cash will be king again if they start sticking their noses in people bank accounts over $600 deposits.

Some places won't take 100s or 50s and don't like coins for change. One place last week shrugged off 30 cents.
Walmart has separate self checkouts for cash and cards.

the walmart card self checkouts video you and then match the facial recognition to the card/id. The govt has facial recognition on almost everyone....

Must be a lot of butt- ugly in that file.

I saw two very hot women at wally this evening...

I actually rarely use cash but I'll raise all kinds of heck if someone tells me they will not accept legal tender.

Actually cash is on its way out. Cashless society is what they are clamoring for. All digital. So they can control everything and will only allow you to spend it on what they feel is socially acceptable. No guns or ammo for you.

Also when they go to negative interest rates you won’t be able to pull all your cash out of the bank. You’ll only have a digital currency to watch disappear each month as they charge you to keep it in your account.

Me too

So they were lost??

Won’t need money, da govement going to take care of us! Just ask jo, he will tell you so.

Sadly I agree. Will be a cashless sociaty in the very near future.

I use cash when I have it.

I read somewhere years ago that James Penney the founder of JC Penney was kicked off the board after the company went public because he opposed credit cards. He said it was tricking people into spending money they didn’t have. Smart man!

At the salesbarn I watched a guy pay for a load of feeder cattle in cash, The clerk never bat an eye.

That’s what they say about casino chips people don’t see them as money so the are more carefree with them.
