I find shopping locally using cash to be easy and convenient. It's
what I've always done, I'm not particularly going out of my way
or changing anything to do it.

Of course. Suit yourself. But IMHO, you're weird in this day and age.

I think it's weird when someone pulls out their Mastercard at a grocery store
to pay for a dozen donuts. I really get upset when the charge is refused and
they have to hunt up another card that might have a little life in it. For a
real fun time get in line behind someone with an EBT card and a pocketful of
dead plastic.

The *worst* is someone who fishes around for a checkbook...
then starts hunting for a pen...
then thumbs through *carbons* of previous checks to find check #7125...
then starts writing out the check...
then discovers that the ink cartridge is "retracted"...
then discovering that the pen is *dead*...
then hunting for scrap paper to "scribble on" to "reprime" the pen...
then asking the cashier for a pen...
then asking who the check should be paid to...
then...

and, EVENTUALLY, getting *****y* that someone waiting makes a comment about
how SLOW they are!
