In a cashless world, beware a power outage

[11Charlie]

Yeah, it'll come in quite handy because there'll be a severe shortage of TP... that's about all it'll be good for if/when it comes to that.

Hey in my world a SHTF scenario might mean a new pistol I can't live without

Didn't click but this is the exact reason I carry a Zippo lighter and a pack a smokes when I want to make a night deposit with the gal on the corner.. the smokes are for her and the Zippo is to verify that her teats go down no further than her navel.













not really

Reverend Jim, is that you???

Wasn't a power outage but might as well have been:
I was at the checkout stand at the auto parts with a $4.95 pack of light bulbs and a $5.00 bill in my hand when the computer cash register went wacko. many attempts to reboot by the guy helping and the manager and fifteen minutes later they gave up. I need to get back to my project, but they wouldn't sell it to me because they couldn't scan it or open the till. I said keep the nickel, and scan it later but still no! so I had to find another store and wait in line again to get my parts!!!!!
Sometimes, even cash won't work when your dealing with the obtuse!
On the reverse;
I was in a little store owned by some Asian folk when the power went out. No problem, in seconds, they lit up a candle from the stocked shelves, tore open a littler calculator, got some paper and pencil and started taking cash transactions. I was out of there actually faster than I would have, because some ahead of me had credit cards only.
They get being an entrepreneur and have no problem with cash.
