Well then I don't give my business to those establishments if they are unwilling to accept legal tender. Pseudo-liberatian? Care to elaborate on what that exactly is in your made up world? Or maybe you meant pseudo Libertarian. Use your words correctly, steve.

sheesh, I can tell you have hypertension if this makes you go off the ranting rails. go ski, it'll make you feel better

Did you really just check my spelling and use it to infer some sort of superiority claim?

I'm pissed that there's an optimization that makes everyone go faster and assholes break the system by paying cash. You said "well it's their right" as if 1.) That matters and 2.) I would give a fuck. But keep spell checking people if that makes you feel better about your your fondness of a cash-paying utopia at fucking Costco.

Seems like there should be two lanes at the store.

At the Costco? You think?

I've never been at a Costco where even with the kiosks there wasn't a person at the register.

Paying with cash is almost as bad as paying with checks. Intelligent countries are well on their way to a cashless society. I'm sure the U.S. will get there about 20 years after everyone else.

Until I can buy weed and gamble with digital money I can never bee truly cashless.

Yeah, it boggles my mind a bit that normal people would still want to use cash when so many other options are available that are far more convenient.

I got the look of crazy last week for declining my $.04 change on a cup of shit drop coffee

this isn’t office space, ma’am

Maybe people (who are not good at budgeting/saving money) that want to avoid the 20%+ CC interest rates? Using cash helps them avoid “over spending”?

There is…but for some people/that suck at it……they should probably use cash. Cuz they just can’t pay that balance off at the end of the month…(yes, it’s their fault/for over spending)……so using cash might help them budget better.

My renters pay me in cash. I think it a budgeting/saving program some people adhere to.

My ex had a bunch of basement work done this summer. Power goes out during the epic rainstorm and the fancy battery backup pump doesn't kick in.

I figure there's no way I can determine what, if anything, we can do about it without looking at it, so I drive over. Fuckers who did the work apparently left the battery cables hooked up less than finger tight, so not only was the DC pump not activated when power cut and water came in; the battery was dead.

Ok, go to pull the battery from her Bronco Sport, and the air box has to come out to get the battery out.

Battery works but has different terminal style, so it's now ziptied in place.

Responding to comments:

At the Costco Food court specifically there usually isn't a person at the register. Someone who's job is to prepare kiosk-ordered food has to do it.

Kiosks take debit cards if people (very reasonably) don't want to use a CC. Literally anyone with a bank account has no excuse not to use it unless they want to slow everyone down.

"Oh you can wait two minutes" I wonder how patient you are when you're stuck behind someone driving fifteen under the limit on a one lane road.

Well every now and then you get some asshole that insists on using the register so they can pay cash. In order for that to happen, someone who's job is normally to get all the food, instead has to remove gloves, go to the register, fulfill dipshit's order, handle cash, wash hands, and then put gloves on. Then they can go back to work fulfilling orders of the dozen people waiting. A dozen people who used the kiosk to make things go faster but waited extra time because grandpa insists on not using the kiosk.

There are people who can't get credit cards. There are people who can't even get bank accounts with debit cards. There is a cash econony out there that overentitled people like you are likely unaware of. And then there are people who use cash for the sole purpose of pissing you off, so thank you for making their day. I bet you get mad at the supermarket when old people slow things down at the checkout line, don't you?

Smoke some weed Steve. You’re not going to survive out there like this.

People travel when sick. Hard to break plans etc. Airports are cesspools. At the very least wear a mask or sneeze in your arm. But nowadays, stay home if you’re sick!

The use of the word “entitled” annoys the shit out of me.

Yeah, it's not entitlement. And this being the annoys you thread, it really isn't any different than the person writing a check at the grocery checkout. Yes, they're allowed to, and maybe they don't have a credit card, can't get one, or are too boomer to use it, but it's ok to be annoyed by them.

I’m with Steve, fuck cash.
That said, stop fucking complaining about going anywhere where this could be a problem. You dumbass.

You're entitled to feel that way.

I’ve been annoyed when the person in front of me was using food stamps.

But I also strongly support food stamps.

But also, they should be easier to use.

(Maybe they are now? It’s been a while since I’ve been behind someone paying with them. But I used to live outside Baltimore, and now live outside Tahoe, so that probably has something to do with it.)

EBT card

I'm not sure but I don't think they even let you in the door of Costco without a bank account.
