How is that stupid? There is nothing that says you can't use a credit card only for large purchases. I use mine to by everything, never carry cash. I don't give a **** if it's 60 cents I'll use my card.

Plus, using the card screws the business out of about half that money (fees I think are about 50 cents or so per transaction), so if you feel that $1.29 is a high price, you can give the finger to the business by using the card... of course, card usage might be why the biz charges so much, heh.

The stupid nominee from me would have to be the copper thieves that caused NP and I to lose power last night.

These idiots not only entered a substation for copper, but then tampered with transformers to take the metal! Holy crap are you stupid. Steal metal from a safer place, like PSO's warehouse! NOT from a PSO substation!

~50+% of the business I partake in won't take credit cards. In my own business, I don't accept them. They are the bane of America. A debit card is better, but still it ain't cash.

I use two credit cards every day. An American Airlines and a Marriott Rewards card. I purchase fuel, groceries, alcohol, farm purchases, entertainment, etc. with them for the points and miles. I wouldn't even dream of buying a McDonald's burger or a bottle of water at Quick Stop with a ****ing card. I mean c'mon, who the hell goes outta the house without at least a couple 20s in their pocket? Answer? A moron.

[texaspokieokie]

i use cash for most everything. use cards for more expensive stuff, but pay off every month.

use cards mostly for motels (when we travel) & gasoline. (so i don't have to go inside) if you use cash for gas, you have to go inside twice, unless you know how much your tank will hold; & i never do.

I write checks at the grocery store, But I have it mostly filled out before the checker has everythin rang up. I fill in the amount and done. at Atwoods i dont even fill it out , just give em the blank check they run it thru a gismo I sign the electronic deal just like those who use a debit card. no big deal.
Write a check for my gas and stuff at the convenience store.

If im traveling , I use either cash or the CC ;)

[SanJoaquinSooner]

There's a taqueria I frequent that has a $5 minimum for either a debit or credit transaction. Two tacos and a diet is below the minimun, so I have to get 3 tacos.

[C&CDean]

Oh and another thing. When we go to pint night or burger night at Abner's I use the card for the meal/drinks, but always tip in cash. If you tip on the card, the server has to claim it as income. If you tip in cash, their choice. It's a damned American thing to do.

Ok, say the 3 tacos and diet cost $5.26. My bank has a "Keep the Change" program when using my debit card. It will deduct $6 from my checking account, pay the 5.26, and deposit the remaining 74 cents in my savings account. So, I'm adding to my savings each transaction which adds up over the whole year. The first 3 months of the program, the bank matched the savings deposit 100%, up to $250. After that, it matches 5%.

Not only that, I don't have to f**k with the change. I keep change in the ash tray of my car, just in case I'm south of Norman and need a bale of alfalfa.

Yeah, it's kinda like dumping your pocket change in a big jar and the end of each day. Not much each day or week, but it adds up over time.

I don't do the tacos very often for the reason you mention.

Just last night I was in the express line at the grocery store to purchase a few items. The guy in front of me was paying cash - six dollars and something was his total.

So he pulls out his wallet and removes 6 dollars (5 and a 1). Put the wallet back in his pocket. Digs with his right hand in his right front pocket to find the change he needed and then dug with his left hand in his left front pocket to find change. He didn't find any change.

So he pulls the wallet back out and removes another dollar and hands it to the clerk.

I'm confident I could have paid it three times with my debit card in the time it took him to pay cash once.

Women who have a both a billfold and a separate coin purse - and are determined to pay the exact amount - are worse.

I agree with these, except the turn indicator doesnt really bother me. I really dont understand why it is a violation if you fail to use it when turning on a 2 lane road or city street. I mean think about it... I can come to a complete stop on a city street and if the car behind me hits me it is their fault... so what difference does it make if I slow down to turn...or even stop to turn. The car behind me can see that I am slowing down or stopping, so what difference does it make that I am turning? The cars behind the car behind me can't see my turn signal... all they know is the car immediately in front of them is stopping.

He11, I've been at 4 way stops and an idiot will turn left against opposing traffic and not use one....or people changing lanes don't use them.

Yeah, people slowing down may indicate that with their brake lights (if they are continuously braking) but why not use the turn indicator? Sure, there is some "effort" involved in pulling the lever down or pushing it up.

I can see how it should be used when changing lanes.... I just dont see what difference it makes when someone is turning. If they are making a legal turn then whether or not they signal is inconsequential. Suppose there are three cars in a row on a two lane highway. I am in the first car, and you are in the third. I need to make a left hand turn across traffic, so I put on my signal and start braking. The traffic is heavy, so I have to come to a complete stop and wait before I can actually make the turn. Now the guy in the 2nd car has to stop too because I am stopped in front of him. You also have to stop because the 2nd guy stopped. How did you know the 2nd guy was stopping? The fact that he put on his brakes and came to a complete stop. Do you think the 2nd guy should be required to put on his turn signal to indicate to you that the guy in front of him is turning?

[tator]

I used cash if I have it, or debit if I don't. I don't know which method is faster really because I'm not an anal-retentive ******* that gets angry at people for slowing me down by 30 seconds because of some falsely perceived rush or self-importance.

Yes.. and the guy in front is also indicating he is stopping with his brake lights.

Either way the car behind him can see he is stopping and should adjust their speed accordingly. You dont need a turn signal. You have brake lights.

Yep! When I'm pulling right out of a business with the flow of traffic and I see a vehicle coming towards me along the same route, and you're gonna turn into where I'm at, give me a signal so I don't have to wait for your slow butt to reach me.

Yes the 3rd car is only going to see brake lights, the 2nd car is going to see a car is turning and may decide to change lanes because of that fact ...but why "conceal" your intentions by not using a device that is in every car. And, again, that doesn't address oncoming traffic.

A more common scenario: Doesn't pull out the card until clerk needs it, clerk swipes it, hands it back to idiot, doesn't go through, clerk asks for card again, doesn't go through again, idiot says "the strip is bad, doesn't work all the time", clerk has to manually enter the number, messing up three times, wait...wait..., success! He needs to sign the receipt, but the pen doesn't work, wait for another, tries to seperate the copies himself, but can't, hands it back to cashier, gets his copy, files it in his wallet, and is done. I would pay cash and be a mile away by then.

[okie52]

I don't know that he doesn't use it and I understand why some people think that at times it is unnecessary...like when they are in a left turn only lane at a traffic light. But why not use it even then?
