 Starting about a 15 years ago, I used to punk the people who worked the #cash registers where I’d shop. I’d ask them “do you accept cash?“ They’d look at me like I was high, until I let them know I was just kidding.

We’d laugh and laugh.

Today, I remember the last time I carried cash was about six months ago. Spare #change is nonexistent in my life entirely. 

It’s not such a funny joke anymore because some places now do NOT accept cash.
