I used to live in the US over 20 years ago. Only recently did I learn that in the US we don't use checkbooks in our daily lives anymore.
Does everyone open checkbooks at the cash register anymore ?
Please let me know if there are other things that they don't do this anymore or are gone.

I have a cache to fill up there because there are gas stations where cash is 10 cents per gallon cheaper than with a card. 。。。。 I drive quite a few miles every day, so I can't afford the gas prices: 。。。。 It's not a lot of money to save, but every little bit counts. 、、、、 I only fill up there ~. In this cashless age。。。。

Mr. #10

Can your children read analog clocks ?
They won't be able to read maps at all, they are the GPS generation.

Since I drive a considerable distance every day
I wonder if there is any thought of hybrid cars over gasoline cars.

There was a time 25 years ago when gasoline was 83 cents a gallon, and now it's over $4.

Cash, huh?
But ~
For example, if I use my Shell credit card, I get 3 ~ 5%/gallon cheaper
and I also get points on my credit card and it reflects on my credit history.
use credit card as much as you can
and also conveniently send receipts by email to prevent unauthorized use
if your main is alco, cash is not a problem

avoid gas stations where you don't know much about them
Especially Cosco gas. You'll get knocking and the smog won't pass.

I see ! ? Buses were free for a while after the pandemic started, but I guess they stopped accepting cash when they went back to paying.

Santa Monica Place and Structure parking is free for the first 1.5 hours. ( Maybe it depends a bit on the Structure location. )

Unmanned rental bicycles and rental scooters BIRD would not have existed 20 years ago. You can leave them on the side of the road, unlock them with an app, pay for them, use them and ride them there and back.
Also, pay phones. I saw one and asked my kids if they knew this ? and they said they had seen it in a movie.

I was an international student at the time and I was staying with a homestay family and the rent was $400 ( in a very safe, quiet residential area ). I also had a part time job to help with living expenses. Part-time job was easy to do anywhere; since 9.11, it doesn't seem to be so easy for foreign students.
Gasoline was less than $1 a gallon. It seems that only rich people can study abroad in the U.S. now.

Baikinman,

Of course there was no Uber, but I still prefer to go to the actual store rather than online.

Double Kin Man, Starbucks, but I was still too old to taste coffee, so I don't remember it.


Are there still many clothing stores ? Melrose was a place with unique clothes and slightly adult toys.

#13 Mr.
Kids can read analog clocks just fine.
But if you don't have the address on your cell phone, you can't go anywhere you don't know.
Even within LA County, if you are in a place you don't know very well and you lose your phone
I don't think you can come home. 。。。。

Parking lots and laundromats are credit card cards these days too.
I haven't had cash on hand for the past year or so.

Although not related to check payment, there was a time when the airport shuttle bus between Van Nuys Airport and LAX was cash-only. However, the ticket booths suddenly changed to accept only credit card payment, as if the ticket salesman, who was supposed to be a city employee, had stolen the cash out of the booth.

Now there should only be kiosk machines ( vending machines ) that only accept cards, as I have no business at LAX since 2019.
