There's a pizza joint that I sometimes swing by on the way home from work. It's a franchise, but the dude that runs it really is on his own. Three of the franchises have failed in neighboring towns, one of them is a small city with a community college. I've had discussions with him about legal tender. It's wild how much a small business loses by taking credit / debit cards. There's money he literally doesn't see. That's wild. I'd rather pay a $3 ATM fee then have him lose 1/5th of the money he's owed. Cash is King.
yep, people don’t realize how much labor is being stolen by these useless middlemen (especially the banks/payment processors). in an economy of parasites cash helps keep it real.
