I have noticed that. I hate doing stuff on my cell phone. I got the Taco
Time (local chain) app so I could get discounts and free food. But then I
discovered that I have to pay using my phone. I'm not going to do that,
especially since when I do get their food. I almost always use the drive
through. I have seen people hand over their phones and Starbucks. Nope. Not
taking the chance of someone dropping my phone. Plus I prefer paying with
cash. Cash is simple. I can see it in my wallet. I can see how much I have.
And I can see when I need to stop spending. I know that cash is going the
way of the wind but... I'm a die hard.
