No Cash, Please

I love it when I get change for 100 dollars back in 1's, 5's and a roll of dimes. Ha! Actually it was 70 bucks as I put 30 dollars for gas but that's the change I got. What the F am I gonna do with a roll of dimes? I should palm it in my fist and hit them. That'll teach that 60 year old lady! hehe.

If you're a major gas station chain, you would think it would behoove you to carry change, but not only that, aren't most people giving you 20's if they give you cash at all? I don't get why they wouldn't have at least one 20 dollar bill to give me. Maybe a lot of people were paying with 100's. But how is that my problem again? ;-)

That brings me to another point. It worries me a bit when businesses don't accept cash. I was just talking to someone today about an experience I had at 24 Hour fitness a few years ago:

Me: "I'd like to buy a membership...here's the cash"
24fit: "We don't accept cash"
Me: "What do you mean you don't accept cash?"
24fit: "Well...we don't have an accounting department for that"
Me: (thinking to myself) "ok, yes you do, every major corporation has an accounting department however you're branch is too lazy to hire someone to tally memberships in cash..."
Me: "Could I buy one of those T-shirts? I only have cash"
24fit: "Sure!"
Me: "Hmmmmmm, interesting... ok. Here's my credit card."

No sense in arguing with the guy who has absolutely no power or logic.

Once people stop accepting cash all together, I'm leaving the planet.
