by using physical cash

  I use physical cash at every opportunity already. How do you buy airline tickets that way? How do you purchase things online for delivery during a pandemic?

    you can go to an airport, which has never closed, and buy a ticket in cash you can purchase things in cash at Walmart, Target, etc. which has never closed during the pandemic

      > you can go to an airport, which has never closed, and buy a ticket in cash This has not been true for some time. Ticket counters require payment cards. I asked about purchasing things online because it's not safe to shop in person at the moment.

        Interesting, I remember being able to pay cash a couple years ago, but now I see most airlines stopped accepting cash, ex: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2020/07/07/southwest-airlines-will-no-longer-accept-cash-in-the-us/ https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2020/07/07/sout... Even Amtrak is now not accepting cash anymore: https://www.amtrak.com/purchase-train-tickets https://www.amtrak.com/purchase-train-tickets Looks like the only option left is drive a car and fill up at gas stations which accept cash (for the time being). I'm not super familiar with EV charging stations but I don't think I've seen one that accepts cash, if that's any hint as to where we are headed. Dark times
