I thought I was the only one.
It is being mentioned more and more at various sites.

Hint: when you get that cash together, have a huge container of coins and have lots of 1.00 bills.
Store's ability to make change will be limited.


Recent example of need for cash:

Few weeks ago, our entire county's computers went down from accidental break of the ONE buried line.
NO ATM's, NO store card swipe machines, Bank CLOSED the doors and would only allow drive up bank deposits
(it was a Friday,check day).
The grocery store parking lots were all but deserted within hours, so I went shopping, something I usually do not do on a Friday. With cash. Paid the bill to the penny.
