Well, I've never paid for gas with cash in my life, and we've already established that I'm always right, so therefore paying for gas with cash is not only ill-advised, but probably a sign of a legally retarded IQ.

I use cash as much as possible.

i use debit card, that's the same as cash, with having to carry cash around, which is nice.

I don't think I've paid for gas with cash in over 10 years.

That's my back-up.  It's either cash or the debit card.  I haven't used credit in years, don't plan to ever again.  Not for consumer items, anyway.  I suppose I'll borrow for real estate.  But gas, chips, motorcycles, computers, etc...all cash.   If I don't have the cash, I can't afford it.  I usually carry 200 or so, and that is how I prefer to pay for most things.  It's faster and more immediate.  Cash gone from pocket is easier to appreciate than gone from bank account.

I'm a simple man.  Some say retard.

same here, after finally getting myself out of some credit card debt hell, this is the philosophy i've adapted.

sure it's cost me some superficial shtein over the years, but i'd rather deal with my own disappointment rather than dealing with those debt collection fargs.

I should clarify..for gas I always pay at the pump with the debit card.  I looked back and it appears I'm saying I walk in to give them cash every time.  That's not what I meant.

There is nothing wrong with that.  It's people that actually generally make the time to walk in and pay actual cash that have a problem.  Pay at the pump is widespread for a reason:  it's a better way of paying for gas.  Amazing.

Sounds to me like they're doin' fine, and you're the one with the problem.  Just sayin'.

i usually pay with my check card, but yesterday it wasn't an option.  i rarely carry more than 50 cash on me.  so i had to go to the bp and pay 2.69 instead.  i regret getting a truck now.

Credit cards are the devil!

I rarely carry more than 3 bucks on me...which makes it very inconvenient and akward when paying for public parking. :boom
