Now that Moneris sold to USA, which sells machines you use to pay via Debit, how do you plan on paying in-store?

Are you guys planning on using cash? How do you hell do you manage so much cash? Card is just so much easier. Especially when its comes to cents.

Big merchants like the oligopolists I have no qualms using credit card.

Small shops I very frequently offer to pay in cash. I have a conventional wallet where my bills are and a buttoned pouch on the inside for the coins.

I avoid having too many coins by doing mental math. If the total is 47.05 and I have 2.05 in change, I'll pay 52.05 to get a fiver in change.
