Honest question: why do so many DISers seem personally offended by cash and those who use it?? It’s no skin off your noses how they choose to pay. If they want to use cash, why does it bother the collective you?
I guess:
Because this is a discussion board?
And it is interesting to discuss different ways of thinking, habits or cultures. That is why I sometimes add 'honest question' or something similar to my questions, because people are easily offended, think I am joking, but I am just trying to figure out how things work for other brains or cultures.
I think we can all agree that the people on this board who frequently go to an expensive amusement park are not the ones without a bank. They have the option to chose between cash and electronic. So if there is a reason why someone would chose cash can be interesting.
And after my last question I remembered, the US is more of a credit card than a debit card country (I think), is it that people avoid cards, especially for low amounts, because there is a cost involved for the use of the card, or interest later?
*edited to add*, I was watching youtube, besides preying banks, what is the opinion on Youtubers promoting financial products? In the last week I saw The Try Guys and the Nostalgia Critic promoting bank cards and other financial products. Not exactly experts on the topic.
To add the cultural aspects, I know that in Europe, especially Belgium and Norway rules are strict and you basically need a license to promote something financial.
