Nah, I'm an asshole who still doesn't understand why you can't fit the cash in your money clip in your back two wallets. You aren't even carrying big bills in your clip; it's rustling me hardcore. Are you just walking around with $100 bills filling your wallets for absolutely no reason? That's not using your money effectively. Have you talked to any investment bankers regarding this excess of random cash money that doesn't need to be in cash form?

Edit - I frequent places where if I start pulling out cash I get strange looks. I'm also not tipping my mailman, or the cashier at Wholefoods, or the gas pump at the local Chevron. Your mileage apparently varies quite a bit, hence my questions.

Roger that, you live in shitty parts of town and/or are timid about strange looks (depending on what you mean by strange). I'll forgive you for not knowing that money clips aren't bags of holding since you don't seem to use one. Too many bills and they get too full. The metal ones will get bent out of shape and then not be able to hold 1 or 2 bills. I used to have a magnetic clip where the magnets flat out wouldn't work with too many bills. Right now I have a new one that needs to be broken in a little as it only holds like 3 or 4 bills before it starts to get rippy. This newest one has the thickest metal I've ever had on a money clip. I will probably go back to cheap clips soon if this one doesn't loosen up.

Yes, I usually walk around with mostly hundreds and 50's. For instance if I get a grand out, I'll get 7 $100s and 6 $50s. Then when I break one, i'll put the 20's in my wallet any anything smaller in my money clip. I like to use the clip so that I don't have to flash my cash everytime I pay for something.

That escalated fast.

Also LOL if you are sincerely implying the consumer is somehow to blame for banks fuckery. No, I'm not carrying cash. This isnt a third world country its fuckin America. I'm gonna swipe my card for a 42 cent purchase and youre gonna like it. Cash, LOL. Whats next, shall we barter with chickens?

Banks suck ass for charging merchants every time a customer swipes their card. Merchants should negotiate better deals with banks, and legislators should work to ensure there is competition among banks with these fees. It is most decidedly NOT the customers responsibility to carry around a bunch of pieces of metal and paper like a fucking medieval peasant heading to market to help the merchant avoid some fees.

On topic, I once had a cashier at a garden store complain gently about this. "I dont make any profit off a $2 sale on a card". Sir, I think you may be misunderstanding the nature of our relationship if you think that your profit margin is my concern.

That last sentence says it all. You missed the part where I said it was for local store owners that I liked. I'll put $2 on a credit card at wal mart every day. But I like Habib down at the corner store. I don't want him to sell out to some camel jokey.

We agree that banks suck ass with their fees. But you're delusional if you don't think those costs get passed on to you. In fact, often there are 2 different prices for cash and credit.

Places that have signs for X$ card minimum usually do so for a reason - and are more locally owned and by real people - even when I am over their $ threshold and use a card I ask them to do credit or debt - whatever one has less fees. The ones that say thank you know whats up with their fees - I generally then respect them more. If they don't know, they really don't care or haven't trained their people right and I then tend to think the minimum is just an upcharge.

The fuck does anyone carry cash, let alone a separate wallet for credit cards? How many cards do you have? I've got one single Visa card that I actively use for every purchase imaginable with a $50k limit and earns me rewards via points. I have 1 backup Master Card with a $20k limit for emergencies if my primary card has issues. The only other plastic in my wallet is my Health Insurance card and Driver's License. Keys / change in right front pocket, phone (with no stupid case) in left pocket.

I know you said you carry a flashlight and knife, but honestly what for and how often do you use them? That'd be annoying as shit having those bulky items in my pocket "just in case". Btw, most modern smart phones work as a flashlight in a pinch.

I personally use my knife on a daily basis, opening boxes and whatnot. That said, I carry a Ridge wallet, fuck cash and change.

Dying to something stupid in Path of Exile in Hardcore rustles my jimmies fierce every time.

Wallets? Money clips? Credit cards? When I walk into a store, they just put it on my account and my estate handles it. If they don't just comp it to me for the free publicity they get from my using their product.

And for things like tipping, my manservant handles such petty tasks. I can't be troubled to carry change for a thousand like a peasant.

Shower too hot. millimeter the other way and it's ice cold.

3 visas with different purposes, DL, CWP, Debit Card, HSA card, 5 gas cards, 2 loyalty cards that I use all the time, insurance card ... I think there's a couple more but I'm drawing a blank on them.

In the cash wallet, I have shit like hotel loyalty cards that i rarely use.

For cutting shit and seeing in the dark. Honestly, how the fuck do you not know what a knife and flashlight are for? This time of year I use the knife daily, but I use them both a minimum of once a week.

Mixer valve is probably sticking. Do you feel comfortable taking it apart? If so you can probably jigger with it and get working again for a while.

If you're like me though, the only answer is that you have to take baths till you get someone to fix it.

What in the actual fuck. You take out a thousand fucking dollars and walk around carrying hundreds and 50s? On a regular basis? Youre trolling. Dont be ridiculous. No one does this.

Profit is when the merchant takes something that cost him $1 and charges me $2 for it.

There is no merchant on the planet I like enough to make sure he gets to make a profit at my expense. Maybe if my wife opened a store. Maybe.

You seem to misunderstand the relationship between customer and middleman. The middleman is a leech to be tolerated as a necessary evil until automation and efficiency of scale can eliminate him. Not someone I want to "support" because I "like" him.

Then why do you use the middlemen? Oh I see, it's because they provide a service you're willing to pay for.

But I'm the one who misunderstands the relationship.
