In today’s fast-paced economy, we are no longer forced to barter our services for another’s goods. So, when faced with the method of payment question at a local establishment, opt for cash over plastic. We’ve mentioned a few benefits of using cash before, but another is that it saves your local business owner a few fees on the transaction. When you drop some dollars on the counter, the local coffee spot saves money on credit card fees. Such costs really add up when you’re trying to be a local third place. So, when buying small, take the cash out.
