I pay cash at the gas station. Gas stations, at least where I am, seem to be the most common place that credit card numbers are snatched. When I drive out of state and pump the gas myself, I feel more comfortable using a credit card than when I am handing it to someone else and not getting it back until the filling is done.
Also, last time I used a credit card at the gas station I looked at the receipt and it said 15+ gallons. I have a 14-gallon tank, and it wasn't completely empty. I challenged the attendant but of course he pulled the "I don't speak English" card and got very mean and angry looking. It was night and so I drove away and never went back to that station again, but I am just not handing my credit card over anymore.
When that happens, dispute the credit card charge; one push of a button on the card's website.

Well, it WON'T happen again, and I thought of either calling the owner, who might have been this guy anyway, and I guess I could have disputed, but for four bucks or whatever, it didn't seem worth it.
By the way, that particular gas station is gone and another has taken its place.
But I will only buy gas with a cc if it doesn't leave my possession; i.e., out of state.

Disputing is such an easy procedure and for $4 the merchant won't fight it.
A couple of years ago I was attempting to operate a muni-meter for parking. Normally you pay $.50 for ten minutes, to a maximum of $18 for six hours. Because of the cold the only button that worked was "maximum time." I disputed the $6 difference between four hours, which is what I wanted,and the maximum. Another small amount dispute was buying gas. My wife asked for a fill-up of regular, in NJ. The attendant gave her super-unleaded. The difference was about $8. Since the procedure doesn't even involve postage or licking an envelope it was done at the speed of a CD post.
About 20 minutes ago. Kid was going shopping with her auntie, so I gave her $100. Would have loved to give her one of these stupid debit cards I've had around the house for awhile now, but that means I have to go to.
Yesterday my wife joked about a wad of paper bills in her wallet that have been there since March and I realized that I hadn’t touched the $60 in my wallet for at least that long. Is paper money dead?
I use paper money 99% of the time
