Same here. I even charge fast food and cab rides. G I hate change
enough to charge a total of $1.05 @ Wendy's!

About the only time I use cash is for incidental tipping, like sky caps,
or cash only food deliveries. In those cases, I need small bills, though.


Because of the fees the card companies charge, I rarely charge
anything under about $15. The merchant can actually be left with
nothing.
In the cases of certain small, family business, I won't use the card
at all, and they appreciate that.

Aren't all the fees based on a percentage? Why would it really matter?
