    Yep, have experienced that working retail, they hand you USD, which we convert, and give CAD change. They get irate that they are American and should get USD back…buddy we don’t carry USD or all foreign currency, we are doing you a service by allowing a foreign currency at all, rather than you having to go to a bank first

      I struggle to imagine any reason to use cash unless you’re a drug dealer. CCs will convert for you.

        ? Weird take. Cash is the legal tender. Credit Card is a slippery slope that gets people to overspend and extort fees. Cash is still highly used all over the works for daily transactions, even though google and apple wallet exist. Not every vendor wants MC/Visa to have a 4% cut of their sales either .
