cash only
I'm so surprised that, in this age of technology, 3 stores I visited yesterday had signs (either at the register or on the front door) reading "cash only." C'mon, man, it's the holidays, and you expect me to have cash?? I live by my debit card, and shamefully so, sometimes my credit card. The first store I visited (Marshall's-don't know if they have them in the rest of the country), had the best items for gifts. I had found stuff for my brother, my husband, my father... "SCORE" I thought to myself as I headed to the register. Then I saw the sign. Damn! I just wasted my whole lunch break. Next (of all places) the post office said their system was down because of the weather-no biggie, I'll wait until tomorrow, but the THIRD place (ugh) was the liquor store. At least that sign was hanging on the door, so I didn't waste any more time. What about the poor drunks? What about me? I need a bottle of wine ('cause Maude was over last night and she cleaned us out). Hopefully today will be different!

I've gotta say, I think Cash Only is fine. It gives me hope that no one will ever say: No Cash because that's all I use! No checks. No credit cards. No debit cards. I guess there are exceptions -- when I travel out of the country... but even then I've always got cash on me, as well as a debit card.
Here in the U.S. -- cash only! God Bless the Green Stuff... well, the now colored stuff but still mostly green.
