using cash makes you a Second-Class Citizen

[Bender]

Fuck the System.

Fuck consumerism!



Using cash doesn't make you anything, other than poor

I havent ever found that, usually it is the opposite here I reckon - credit card users are discriminated against... like at my work for example (a stadium) we have one ATM for 50,000 people and when you purchase tickets it is cash only. And a lot of shops and even some restaurants do not have credit card facilities... cash only.

You know why they don't want to use credit/checking card systems at certain restaurants, right? The reason is in business. For each bank transaction, the company that they do the transactions through charges them a certain percentage.

A while ago, I walked into a small Indian store, and they wouldn't accept my card for anything under $10. They can't afford to have people use cards just because its easier for us.

lol. this thread is funny

you should Rep the person that Started it (yes being a rep whore today)

and harry potter, why'd you trudge around with so much dough? hihi

they wany people to use credit so the government can have a track or record of people.i dont know buts thats my guess

it was created in the 1920s so that people would buy expensive items like cars and refrigerators. instead of paying all at once, they could pay over time.

I am thinking of converting to Islam just for the mear fact they do not believe in "Interest". lol

lol.

and good post. i thought i was the only one thinking this way.

first its checks,now its cash. i remember a long time ago,any store you go into, you ould pay with check. Now,no one will take checks.Now it's the cash's turn.Pretty soon, you won't be able to buy anything unless you got plastic.

Fuck man, everytime I go to take out cash from the bank,I pull all my hairs out.Most of the time,they will not give me more than $1000 at a time.Depends on the teller. And the thing that pisses me off the most is, when I ask for cash,sometimes they ask me what i need it for. One time I took out $2000 cash,then went to another branch of the same bank to take out more cash(since the tellers are advised to only give a certain amount per customer), and this fuckin old bitch tells me,sorry I cant give you anymore cash,you took out enough today,what do you want it for?? I got so pissed I punched the back of her computer screen and broke it then they called the cops.

Now i have 5 banks accounts opened. If I need about $10,000 cash a certain day, I just make 5 money orders for $2000 each(even though i get charged like almost $50 for them),and i cash them at the different banks.Its such a fuckin hassle. ITS MY GODDAMN MONEY,I dont understand why they are being bitches.

And since I dont want to use any of the credit on my credit cards,I bought a prepaid Visa card,and I can refill it up to $20,000,and then I can use it anywhere that accepts credit cards as if it's a normal credit card.Difference is, I choose how much money i want on it,and no end of the month payments for it.I use this everywhere I shop since getting cash is such a bitch.

 

[The.Menace]

are there any other Cash users out there or am I last of a dying breed?

nope, I use cash as well

To be honest - & possibly sound really backwards - I don't even carry a wallet, when I travel my money stays snugly stuffed in my sock.

my dad does the same, and my grandma carries her money in her bra! And then she has to go to a bathroom to take it out

I knew I was going to be old before my time......maybe I'm just ahead of my time!

And might I just say ewwwww! Any talk of grannies & their bras don't make me feel so good.

Oh I feel your pain!!!

yeah that is why I quit fucking with banks, only letting me take out $500 from the ATM a day and shit. just goes back to the source of the power/Problem!

They must protect there own interest's.

pre-paid card sounds like a good idea!

damn man you sound Rich! WTF do you do for a living?

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

I am not that crazy about using actual cash. I like using my checking card (it works exactly like cash...its my money).

Yeah, but you seem to have faith in big corporations - others don't.
