We do not accept Cash.

People don't carry cash as much here. Especially, I really can see this kind of seen a lot in the restaurant. Coming back after giving the bills to the customers, there are 90% of chances, will be creditcards or debt cards showing up. How do they manage their debts every months? I questioned myself "no wonder people having bigh debts here", cause they're spending money without seeing real money floats out from ther pockets.

My way of comsuming is old-fashioned for here.

One day morning, I was in the hight spirit going to YMCA register menbership. After being asking few basic question for building up computer file.
The lady asked "Will you pay by check or credit card?"
I was carrying $115 "Can I pay cash?"
Lady " No, we only accept check or credit card# for monthly monthly membership."
I replied " I only have cash with me, can I just pay cast now and give you check latter?"
Lady " No, the computer wouldn't funtion without one of these payment."
I replied " Um, people don't really use cash as much here."
Lady " Not any more." , and looked at me like a " cave man".

After this conversation, I was so embrassed, and suddenly feel myself like a "morden cave man", don't know how to use plastic money as local people here. But the lay let me join the Arboics class without charging me on that day.
