Title: cc and the dollar store...
Post by: TAB on December 17, 2016, 07:26:37 PM
I don't get it, I was just at the dollar store buying some crap for a white elphant gift exchange.   

Anyways 7 people in front of me with 1-3 items.  Not one person paid in cash.    Idon't get it.  Ypu really did not have a dollar bill?


Why on earth would you pay with a cc/debt card for a couple bucks.

I see it all the time.  It's cash to many people.

Many people don't carry cash.  Not every card you see is a credit card.  Some are debit.

Not what I expected when I saw "cc" in the title.
In fact, "credit card" never even crossed my mind.  LOL

funny thing, back in sac going into a dollar store. Cc was not enough, you need a gd tank to feel safe.  Here, I think you could drop your wallet and some one would bring it too your address.

It really is a different world.   The only time I have had one of those " I wish I was armed"  moments was when I saw a coyote on my property while I was doing some land clearing for the barn/shop.  ~80 yards.  To far for a snubby, well at least for me.

not when barbwire fence is the only thing backing it up before it hits a heard of cattle...

not the best way to meet the rancher neighbor... ps I met him a couple weeks after that, he was checking the fence on horse back, with a 1911 on his hip... helped me remove 3 trees because I was all by myself.   nice guy.

I use my credit cards for things over $50 and cash for things less than $20. In between it's a tossup but I usually have around $50 on me. I never used a credit card at a dollar store where I buy $10 worth of stuff once a year but if I did I'd get 1% back eventually.
