So that's the basis of a comparison. Cost of cash vs cost of credit cards over the economy.
I can't resist an aside. A buddy of mine was in a well known cash business. You can imagine. Anyways, hanging out with him, we'd be driving around and he'd need gas. He'd pull out 2 or 3 $20s, hand them to the attendant pump gas and go. Some gas stations gave a cash discount.
It seemed to me that credit cards were supposed to be fast and convenient, but if you're choreographed for cash, it ain't so.
