Cash Only

An article by Don Quixote    1 Comment

“You’re kidding me right?”

“No sir, we only take cash or checks.”

“Isn’t it bad enough that my clothes are dry clean only, and now the dry cleaners only takes cash or checks?”

Sure enough, Troy Cleaners on St. Joe Center only takes cash. How odd is that? I mean honestly I never carry cash, never. I might have quarters floating around in the Element, and some times I’ll get fin out of the ATM at the newspaper to snag some chocolate milk, but everything else goes right on the old bank card.

In an era when you can slap down plastic to get your cheese burger and my check book is on check 27 after 4 years, I was totally taken aback that a business in today’s world could function without taking credit cards. Heck as an independent web designer, I took credit cards. Who knew?
