I stopped paying cash for gas several years ago.
It's a pain in the ass.
First you have to stand in line behind everyone buying their cigarettes, beer, junk food and lottery tickets. Then you have to guess how much gas your car will take. Then if you guess too high and it won't take what you guessed you have to go back in and stand in line again and wait for your change.
Motels are another thing you have to have a credit card for. If you try to pay for your room with cash they look at you like you are a criminal and make you put up an extra $100 deposit in addition to paying for the room upfront.
So even though I am trying to resist the cashless society that the bastards are trying to force on us, they are wearing me down little by little.
