I've noticed the stupidest people typically have the smartest phones.
Smarter than they are in fact.

If you had one you could just wave it at the terminal and pay that
way.

...until of course there's a glitch with that, too.

In which case you just use the spare.

Not going to help if the glitch is with the *system* rather than the card

Give me cash; it never lets me down.

You have clearly never tried renting a car from one of the major car
rental operations with cash.

I would take plastic for that, certainly. But in addition to cash. Always
take at least *some* cash!
