Your cash is no good here
July 29th, 2009 - Posted by Caitlin
A popular Manhattan restaurant has issued a press release announcing its new "credit cards only" policy:
Carrying around cash is a thing of the past. Leave it to Commerce, Harold Moore's West Village hot spot, to modernize and go "paper-free," now only accepting credit cards as a convenience to its patrons. With robberies on the rise in the West Village, owner Tony Zazula also sees the switch as a safety precaution. It will eliminate the dangerous situation that employees face when walking to local banks with large sums of cash. So forget about that last-minute trip to the ATM and head to Commerce for a relaxing meal.
Could this be the start of a new trend? It is difficult, but still technically possible, to live without the convience of credit cards. But it doesn't look as though cash will be making a comeback any time soon. As our reliance on credit increases, so do the risks. It's important to use credit responsibily and to guard against credit card fraud.
