It’s easy for a cart of groceries to come out to $200 these days; how do these businesses accept cash in the first place?
- whartung 3y agoGrocery stores used to be the king of cash. It was not uncommon for someone to show up with their paycheck to do their weekly shopping, handing it over to the cashier and taking the rest in change. The amount of cash that worked through a busy grocery store must have been pretty amazing.

- pkaeding 3y agoGrocery stores still accept $100s. It is the places where the average purchase is much smaller (or robberies are more common), like coffee shops or convenience stores. Gas stations might accept the bill but only if the change needed is under $20. And then they drop the bill in the safe, rather than put it in the till.
