I had to pay the bill for the wife’s car repair. It was $495 cc or $440 cash. Easy choice.

I can understand some times for professional services, but if you work at a restraunt or retailer, cash costs money.

Now you have to have managers take time out of their schedule to count tills and ensure there is sufficent change in the establishment. Would you rather do that or have a computer process all the charges for a fee. Then you also have to worry about cash theft either from a robbery or an inside job with one of your managers or a worker giving the incorrect change, and then there is also the issue if someone uses a counterfeit bill.
