Message:: [QUOTE="Michael K, post: 26536426, member: 78298"]I had read newspaper articles about people paying their fines that way.That's why I mentioned it. I always thought stores/ entities had to accept any form of payment but I learned a harsh lesson 20 years ago when I tried to pay cash at Kinkos. I needed to make 1 copy. It cost like a nickel."We don't take cash." What do you mean? It's a nickel. "You can buy a Kinkos card for $10." Well since I am never  coming here again that doesn't seem practical. "You can put it on your credit card." I had a credit card but I didn't want to put a charge on there for a nickel. I went to Office Depot (Office Max?) one of those and paid a dime to use the copier.There was a nice pair of sunglasses on the floor under the lip at the cashier of the Kinkos so I took those and I still have them.So I thought since our money says: GOOD FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, they couldn't do that. I did some research and of course I was wrong companies are allowed to declare what forms of payment they will or will not accept. Even before the pandemic companies started to refuse cash so their businesses would not be robbed. (Carl's Jr.) And since then the bagel place. I prefer to pay in cash and I prefer to tip in cash, sorry I am not adding a tip onto my CC when you put a bagel in a bag and hand it to me.And BTW, Kinkos no longer exists. They were absorbed into FedEx Office.[/QUOTE]
