Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4236 | It appears NJ has mandated that most stores accept cash: https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2019/03/18/murphy-signs-bill-banning-most-cashless-stores-in-new-jersey-919093 It appears NJ and MA are the first two states with statewide bans on cashless stores. (There are many cities that have local laws prohibiting cashless stores). |

I have lived in Florida for a little over a year now and I still have not seen anyone write a check in the grocery store. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

gamerfreak Member since: Feb 19, 2018 Threads: 4 Posts: 527 | There are often news stories about people getting arrested for using $2 bills. Both the cashiers and the police are that stupid. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2016/05/04/police-called-after-student-tries-to-buy-lunch-with-2-bill/ https://geektyrant.com/news/a-man-was-arrested-for-using-2-bills-at-best-buy-because-the-employee-and-cop-had-never-seen-one-before |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 30 Posts: 2469 | Woodrow Wilson: I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. ---------------------------------------------- So let's reward Woodrow by placing his image on a $100,000 bill. No other bill is higher in denomination. He deserves it. Without good ole Woodrow, where would we be now? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18629 | One advantage of cash, is I don't end up with a triple overcharge on my credit card. $5.76 x 3 for one sandwich. I'm not going to even bother to fix it. But still annoying. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Woodrow Wilso was not President at the end of his term Duties should have been handed over to the VP instead Edith became the acting President I also have issues with Wilsons racist views He praised "Birth of a Nation" which glorified the KKK Disgusting Right up there with Andrew Jackson and his disgusting views on Indians Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
