I have had a $50 stashed in my wallet for decades. It is my "Oh crap" money. On 4 or 5 occasions over four decades I have had to spend it to avoid a problem.
For the last 10 years, I use my debit card 99% of the time. It was WAY WAY faster, and totally safe. I have never lost a penny by using a debit card.
Now I hate it when I am in a checkout line and some geezer pulls out cash, and the real topper, starts digging in a coin purse for the exact change. Then the teller has to actually count out the change and that takes forever. Then the customer put the change of the bills and coins away. The real horror is the total was $10.61 and the customer hands them $20.76 so they get a $10 and dime and a nickle back an no pennies. The clerk just looks like a deer in the headlights.
Then the line gets back to normal, piece of plastic, zip, done, bye.
An I am an official geezer, I just know how mach faster and easier a debit card is.
