I've lived in NYC in the past and informally had discounts of 5-15% for services by paying cash, nothing declared, no receipts. Years long relationships with a mechanic or handyman can net some pretty deep discounts if they know you won't be a problem about billing disputes.
- woodruffw 4y agoYes, this is my experience as well. I've been doing business with some of the same people my entire life, and "cash only, no receipts, discount between friends" is the norm.
- nunez 4y agoThat and there are a TON of small (and not so small) businesses in NYC that are cash only or will not accept cards for transactions under $5 or $10 (and have a majority of transactions that are under that threshold). I remember being absolutely shocked when I went to a super duper hole in the wall place in Dallas that I was _sure_ was cash-only and discovered that they not only accepted cards, but their POS supported NFC!
