If somewhere doesn't take plastic, they will never get my business. Unless something costs under $1, I won't use cash. There's no point in it. Might as well get airline miles, cash reimbursements, etc.

Ok, weak rant, but here we go. One of my buddies always likes to pay by debit card. I swear he never has cash on him. This can be a problem as not all stores, restaurants, etc. will accept debit. For instance: an arcade we went to last weekend, and a local cafe.

So I end up loaning him a few bucks and he'll either pay my share next time around or go to an ATM, get cash, then go somewhere else to get change. He always pays me back, but it's a bit of a pain sometimes. He doesn't seem to take the hint (I've mentioned it to him a few times) that he should hit the ATM regularly.

Seriously, how hard is it to carry a couple 20s in your wallet, maybe a few loonies and toonies in your pocket?

You are what is called an enabler.

Lulz, I realize that. I guess I would feel like a real asshole if I didn't lend him $5 and instead made him tromp off to find an ATM. Time for me to grow a spine :eek:.
