Checks will never be obsolete. I use them at the grocery store all the time

Enjoy having all your economic activity traced. Cash is king.

Liberals in Chicago run a lot of cash only businesses. It helps them hide their income and not pay their fair share.

Cash will always be in play.

credit card transaction fees are starting to be passed on to the user meaning many businesses will be adding the 2%-4% that they are currently paying for the privilege to accept cards.

Which is ridiculous. I know my dad's provider only charges 1/2% on all transactions, and he just pays it, it's figured into his hourly rate.

Two times today I got stuck behind trashy people in the store.

At the grocery store a piece of trash in quick lane took out a checkbook and I immediately knew I wasn't going anywhere for a while.

At Academy another piece of trash is up there counting out nickels and pennies for exact change and digging through every pocket of his wallet.

Credit or debit people....then move along.


^^^^ Those are the comments of someone that lacks any measure of critical thinking.

They're already obsolete. People do use both of course, but that doesn't mean they aren't outdated.

imagine an illegal transaction in a movie where instead of the buyer handing over a briefcase full of cash, he hands over a debit car....

Because some will always be strictly cash


About 5 years ago I was shocked when I got a haircut and they were cash or check only. I had to run to the ATM. Of course this is a little local place, but one of the few I've ran across that only take cash or checks. I thought everyone had come around to cards, but I guess it helps some to only take real money.

Go look up the constitution about coining money, and you shall have your answer.

As long as Sonic is still around, cash for tips will be around too.
