Or.... Pay cash for a $3.00 item?

A lot of people just plain don’t carry cash to spend any more. To say that five years ago (with typical CC PoS systems) that would have been fine but today thanks to these startups we’ve regressed to having to pay with cash or else need to pay 15-30% more is ridiculous.

#5I don't feel guilt when they swivel that ipad around, more like annoyance. When I'm asked to tip for someone handing me a cup of coffee, I say no tip. We should really be pushing to get away from this relic of slavery, and don't tip unless it's absolutely clear we need to; i.e. at a sit down restaurant.

How about brew your own coffee and save $2.95 on that transaction.

#7I dislike the tip-at-purchase-time paradigm. I haven't even seen my order yet, how am I supposed to evaluate how much of a tip it warranted? But that gets to the heart of it really: tipping is more about subsidizing payroll than rewarding good service.

Do HNers still use cash? It's been years since I carried a wallet that has a slot for cash.

Considering that every aspect of my banking is now online (including depositing checks), yeah, it is actually kind a hassle to have to keep making trips to one of my bank's ATMs just to refill my supply of small bills so that I can buy coffee.
