Do you still pay with CASH in NYC? (sales, home)

[Henna]

I use cash at the small mom and pop stores in the neighborhood, like the fruit and veggie places. I think they appreciate it and it's not a problem for me.

Cash has germs on it

I try to use as little cash as possible.

If it's something where there is a possibility of dispute? Card.

Although.sometimes I'll make bigger purchases like a new video game in cash, the receipt still helps.

However, when an agency of any kind insists on cash only, that usually raises all kinds of red flags.

Everything has germs. I practically work with germs for a living and none of that stuff bothers you after awhile. Washing your hands after you get off of public transit is for amateurs!

At some stores they offer to shave off the tax if you pay in cash. If it's substantial enough, I'll pay in cash but only then. I don't like to walk around with too much cash on me.

I always walk around with $20 (or less) in cash otherwise debit/credit everything else.

It does. So do cards. God forbid you pass your card to someone for them to swipe a purchase. Instant cooties

A bit of germ has never hurt anyone. Just a tad, mind you. It builds up the immune system!
