  Stop buying things. Go to your bank and withdraw cash. Write checks.

    Who the fuck takes cheques? Hell, some places don’t even take cash any more.

      People are so angry in here that they didn’t catch the obvious sarcasm.

        Welp I guess I don’t have bills now. No electric bill, no water bill, no car loan, no phone and internet bills, nope. Captain_aggravated says so.

      My mother asked me the other day “does $LocalGroceryStore still take cash?”

      I looked at her like she had five heads and said, “yes”

        It’s mostly small places that don’t. I think they started during covid so they didn’t have to physically take anything from the grubby customers, and found they didn’t lose much (if any) business over it.

        Cash still costs money to handle, either for the time or wages of taking it to the bank, or paying somebody to collect it every day.

        I guess it helps that contactless payments are now ubiquitous. Practically everyone has a phone, and readers like SumUp and Square can be had for a few quid.

        But then there are places that still only take cash, because it’s easier to hide that from the tax man.

  Cash. Buy things in person. Use bitcoin. Use AMEX. Save money.

  So many options besides using Visa or Mastercard.
