Cash as in old, multiple denomination, non-sequential bills?


That's a good question. I say that because sometimes I will offer a
customer a ten percent discount if they pay in cash. You would not
believe how many idiots think cash means a check will do. It won't,
cash means just that, cold, hard, greenbacks. Now I tell anyone that I
make that offer to just that so there are no misunderstandings.


The problem with that, at least from my standpoint and past
experiences, is that cash also indicates tax "mitigation" (or maybe
evasion). So, if the person is a touch dodgy with Uncle Sam, how am I
supposed to know if they also take a shortcut with me to save some extra
money.
