What's worse. Getting robbed after picking up a weeks pay at the
"payroll window" or getting clipped for a service fee for using a

Which third world country do you live in? I've never been paid in cash
but then I've only been working for the last 50 years or so. I do
remember the days when you could walk into a bar and a guy sitting at a
table in the back would cash your paycheck. Robbing that operation would
have been a major mistake.

Now I get paid by direct deposit and hit the ATM every now and then for
a couple hundred bucks of walking around money. The ATM is from my bank
so no fee. About the only thing I use plastic for is gasoline and CostCo
runs. Oh, and REI purchases since my membership number is on the credit
card so if I dig it out I might as well use it.
