Cabs (NYC only, Boston cabbies can suck a fat one) and convenience stores. Accuse me of being altruistic, but those folks work hard for their money.Originally Posted by stant62
I think they appreciate it. I had one cabbie in Philly give me a stunned look and thank me profusely for paying my fare in cash one time (it was a fixed-fee $28.50 ride from the airport). That 3% may not seem like much to some ballers here, but as the cabbie said he runs a cash-based business and every little bit helps.
The only time I've used a credit card in a cab is for a trip from central London to London Heathrow airport. The fare was fifty pounds (at the time, almost $100 USD). As I was concluding my trip, I was low on pounds so I had to use my AMEX.

Someone told me today that they sold their house to a Chinese couple who paid the $1.7 million price in cash.Originally Posted by LabelKing
I have a close friend of mine who was offered almost 1.5x the price of the next highest bidder for their house (about $1.3 million), but turned down the offer because it was too sketchy to be paid that much money in cash.
Interestingly, they were also a Chinese couple.
