Memo to guy in front of me at Star Market
If you’re in the Express Lane (7 items or fewer) and your entire order comes to $8.26, PAY CASH.
Do not futz with your wallet, pull out the credit card, fumble with the credit card reader and make everyone in line wait four minutes longer than necessary.
Eight dollars is not a major purchase. Carry cash. Grr.

Yea, that guy is me… I can never get to an ATM to get money out. The smallest I ever charged was 1.29… That’s bad…

Whatever dude. Next time I see your slimey face - I’m going to write a check.

I have to admit that sometimes I am the person in front of you. But it’s because I forget sometimes how much cash I have on me. The person I find even more appalling is the person using a debit card at a coffee shop for coffee. I was behind such a person recently, who added insult to injury by turning around and bragging to the whole line behind him that he always uses his debit card and loves that he has no need for cash anymore. Glares were all he got in return.
