Come on it's 2012 and it takes a hundo to fill my suv for god sakes. Next time they ask say Why do you ask stupid questions! Info mining at it's best and most sheeple will actually answer honestly. You are correct cashless is their next step to global currency. |

US anti-coin movement? User ID: 28226269 United States 11/28/2012 03:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The other day I was was using some nickles to pay for 3.00 worth of items at the store, just nickles, I like to use them. The cashier told me it was "against the rules" to accept them if not wrapped. I said "Can you give we a wrapper"? She said "no". I wanted to explain to her that coins are actual money (specie) and that paper money is debt. but I just smiled, and knowingly winked at her and said "Thanks for breaking the rules for me." and she said "no problem!" in a defeated way, like as if I confused her. I think she was just stupid or lazy, but what was funny was that the guy behind me had a bunch of coins unwrapped with which to pay, as well! Ha! |

I was with him and thought it was odd because plenty of people test drive before financing. Anyway we walked out went 30mins down the road and they were more then happy to get the sale. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25672410 United States 11/28/2012 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A while ago I was Walmart and paid cash for a very big order. You'd think they never saw cash before. First inspected each bill ($300 worth) then couldn't figure out how much change I get back. Then, she had to call the manager because she didn't have enough change in her register. People in line behind me, I turned to them and said....I can't believe they can't handle purchases with cash. It's not like I'm using a credit card that was over limit, it's just plain CASH. |

It was a relatively unremarkable amount (few thousand dollars), and to add insult to injury, the bank gave me grief about not having my cash on hand in the first place. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1353978 OP, I hope you told them where to shove their nosey questions. In fact, I would have been so incensed I would have have just taken my business elsewhere where paying by cash isn't questioned or seen as something dirty, and it's clear things are being pushed in that direction, cashless society, mark of the beast et al. No doubt they asked you this in full earshot of other shoppers too. WTF has it got to do with anyone else? I don't like paying for stuff in person with a card unless I really have to, for a number of reasons, all of those reasons are perfectly valid and I shouldn't have to justify doing so to anybody else for any reason. As far as I'm concerned, fuck any shop that questions you like this, and shop elsewhere. |
