<p>[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4055309, member: 78298"]You would think so but it's not. 10 years ago I walked into a Kinko's and I needed to make 1 copy. It was around a nickel. Refused cash payment. They wanted me to buy a $10 credit worth of copies. "But I only need 1 copy, it's a nickel." Then they said I could use a credit card. I have one, but I didn't want to use it, out of principle. I mean I understand it is easier for them not to use cash, but I thought that was crappy and I have never patronized them again nor will I ever. I had used them in the past for much larger transactions, in college, doing manuscripts before home printers were a thing back in the Stone Age etc.</p><p>Also, there are places that will refuse change. Like if you try to pay a parking ticket with all pennies or nickels, they are not required to accept it as a cash payment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
