I mean, since the last time I've visited: it seems like no one ever carries it. I prefer it because CC charge additional fees (which end up making the item cost more) I have a small rant about that: STOP RIPPING OFF PEOPLE WITH THOSE SURCHARGES?! (It should be 0 rather than 1%) as it may seem trivial, they add up overtime. Are stores allowed to refuse cash payments outright despite them being legal tender?

For when:

  • Your telco is down
  • Your internet is down
  • Your bank is down
  • The telco, internet or bank of the vendor is not available
  • Your phone updates/has a fit
  • Your payment app updates/has a fit
  • Google/Apple/Samsung has a fit

You guys convinced me I should keep carrying enough cash to get ripped off by a taxi to get home.
