The cash shortage..

[ironglows]

I have been to some places such as grocery stores and Burger King, where I was asked to use plastic money.  I am not one to use plastic money very often..maybe $50 to $75 per month, and paid off promptly, so using it for small purchases is aggravating.  I thought perhaps it was the left, trying to start a cashless society..
   Here's one explanation...claims that people's inordinate fears are causing the shortage.  I did notice that BK stores around here, are accepting cash, only in plastic trays, however that helps!
