Continuing with #158, I pay by credit card for most of my shopping in our area these days.
I only pay cash at one ramen shop that only takes cash and a yoga class at a senior center
.

I guess it is safer to use a card, though the store will charge a fee.
If you handle cash, employees will skim it, if they take sales to the bank
they are easy targets, and if you hire a cash collection agency, it will cost you money. Well, when you get that big, Walmart,
Ralphs, etc., you've probably figured out all the costs.

It's been more than 10 years since the Flyaway Shuttle Bus terminal, which goes directly to LAX,
sold tickets from a card-only vending machine.
Before that, there used to be two employees at the ticket box, but the wages
they had to pay must have been ridiculous, so they went completely unmanned.
I would guess that the city employees were skimming a lot of cash as well.

I pay with my Costco credit card for cash back. I was surprised that my cash back was ＄ 600 even in a year when I didn't spend much.
I guess the 4% gasoline discount is a big deal.
I use my card in Japan, but it is even better if I don't have to pay a fee anymore.

I was amazed at the disciplined Japanese homeless.
Last time I stayed at a hotel in Shinsekai and had a lot of food and drink in the neighborhood.
The night of the station, there were many tents of homeless people, but they were cleaned up the next morning.
The commuters didn't know what was going on, but they opened the station to all functions.

Japanese people live with dignity even when they are homeless.
I sincerely hope they will grasp a hopeful future.

People like Zuckerberg are earning
billions using users' data.

As long as there are people like this who prey on the common people,
the gap is going to widen even further in the future.

#162 Mr. Point Savings,

$600 cash back is amazing. This time mine was $360. I think it's because I fill up at the Costco gas station as you mentioned. I have been driving only a Prius since Costco switched from Amex to VISA card, and since both of us are retired, the chances of both of us driving one car at the same time have been drastically reduced.

Therefore, the consumption of gasoline has become considerably less and the reword has also become less.

Also, I will use this card from now on because Costo VISA card in Japan no longer has a foreign exchange refund fee.
