Sometimes I don’t want to walk around with my valuables on me, I just bring a small sum enough to satisfy my groceries.
I do this especially when it’s dark outside and I have to go out to shop, this way, I don’t lose anything significant if I get robbed.
Another good reason is that some shops have to pay a fee for being able to accept digital transactions, for some shops, the fee is quite a lot.
So paying with cash is preferred and helps them a bit.
Lastly, while it sounds shady, being able to pay in cash keeps me from being traced by the government. I don’t really have anything to hide but having the option to be anonymous If I want feels good.
- xadhominemx 3y agoYou don't like to bring your valuables with you, so you bring cash instead of a PIN-protected debit card?
- Alifatisk 3y agoI'd rather loose 10 bucks than letting them take my debit card. PIN is not required until a certain amount.
- xadhominemx 3y agoYou buy $10 of groceries at a time?
- Alifatisk 3y agoIt’s not exactly 10$ every time, it varies. But it’s a small amount. If I have to buy larger amount of groceries, then I wait until daylight. No way I’m carrying more money when it’s dark outside.
