Ok, so I assume everyone has some form of electronic money. Does anyone besides me actually use cash anymore? Maybe for purchases of 2 to 4k?

There is a certain "real money" feel to a stack of hundred dollar bills, I will admit it is becoming more suspicious and unwelcome buying this way though.

I bought a computer and accessories in Reading last year at a Circuit City, the total was 1400 and change. When I handed the "sales associate" the stack of hundreds he first looked at me as if I had just handed him wampum or something. Slang thought to SA..."this is what cash looks like dumbass". So then he had to get the manager and have 2 or 3 people hold the bills up to the light and write a mark on the bills with those special pens. After all the "gee whizzery" I recieved my comp and the change.

Seems like people are less and less likely to make anonymous purchases nowdays. Eventually, I wont be able to buy gumballs from the machine without Poindexter getting a report.
