Payment Apps….

I don't not so good my thumb any more.  Cash money is filthy - I get it.  But I have a flip phone [by choice] and can't to the 'Just point you phone at the square Sir.".  If I am in a situation where American money is not accepted, SCREW that - I walk away.

 Friend of mine went to pay a debt in cash, they refused to take it, he was relieved of the debt in court as they would not take his legal tender

My fixed income check goes into my bank and I use a debit card exclusively. I have a separate card set up that I transfer funds into for online purchases. I pay my monthly bills through paypal.

It is becoming more difficult to use both CASH and CHECKS.  It may eventually put the holdup guys out of business.  Such a shame!

I pay bills online…debit card for purchase grocery,gas etc….but may go to cc exclusively…I like to keep a little cash on hand as I like to tip on occasion…last time I Handled cash recently was tipped a sod crew $40 so they could have lunch…good luck

I just add tips to the payment

It it one of those places that takes a 'House Cut' of the TIP that I want the wait person to get, then I give it to that person in cash.

During COVID-19 a guy that works for me pushed it.
The store refused American currency.
He walked out with a full cart of groceries and won in court!

I assume they all do ,so I always tip in cash…..if given the chance I put it directly in the servers hand…

The only problem with tipping a server directly is that the establishment may have a policy against him/her accepting tips and him/her may lose their job if caught. I've seen this happen.

Im willing to take that risk…I do what makes me feel comfortable…it’s the servers responsibility to inform me of policy….and i will gladly abide……Im done ..lol

Didn't mean to make it controversial. Just joining the topic. I will admit that having a twenty tucked away in he wallet can be handy

My wife worked at a place that automatically added a "Gratuity" to the tab... but my wife, doing all the work as a server, got none of it.
The "House" kept it all.

When I was still a teacher, I once told my students that I kept a $100 tucked away in my wallet in case I got held up by someone who had a pistol shoved in my face.  I was going to hand over the $100, and hope we both parted HAPPY!

... and suddenly 26 kids knew just where to get $100 in a pinch.
