Maybe we are close to having
a new economic crisis. Of course not as big as the 1920’s. Do you have many
coins in your purse? Do you have a fat piggy at home? In my case no. I even
have one piggy, but there is only a shirt button.
Another day I went to the
supermarket to buy a few things. As usual I always use the food card. My
company pays this card. I gain as worth R$250 per month in this card and it can
only be used on the market to buy food. When I showed the card to the man, he
smiled and said: “Coins?” Then I showed him the card again and he said: “You
can shoot the value with coins. Do you have coins? We don’t. And we really
need.”
The man told me that this
year more than half of purchases are paid by credit or debit card. This is a
big problem for all commerce. So, all employees ask (or should ask) the
customers if they have coins. He told that there are few people who have and
those that have, have few. I had forty-five cents. It seems very little, but if
all people can exchange a few coins, in the end the supermarket will have many.

I carry no cash/coins at all. I pay with my debit card.
You are so sweet and thoughtful! I use coins sometimes, they tend to accumulate and when there is enough of them I trade them in at the machine at the market...
You are very thoughtful. In USA, almost everyone uses debit/credit cards.
I have an interesting story about India. If the shopkeeper does not have small change, he would give one or two toffees instead. But if we are short of small change, he will not accept the same toffee from us.
I barely ever have coins on me, sometimes some bills, but most is paid with cards
I always have cash and credit cards.
Minha linda...

Eu sempre guardo moedas para passagens no ônibus, tento, Mas dinheiro mesmo não dá prá andar com ele, não. Não é seguro, Um bom dia amiga. Bjs
I am guilty of paying with plastic. I never have coins or cash on me because I am afraid of spending.
My friends joke with me that I'm like the Queen as I never have any cash on me.
Oi Camila, vi seu comentário lá no meu cantinho Jesus meu porto seguro. A frase "Porque o salário do pecado é a morte, mas o DOM gratuito de Deus é a vida eterna, por Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor. Romanos 6:23 é um texto da Bíblia. A palavra DOM significa presente de Deus. (Jesus é o presente de Deus para nós. Bonito não é? bjsss desejo um dia lindo prá vc.
We have to make proper use of some cards to buy something cheaper at supermarket or department store. It's complicated because privilege of cards differ depend on day or place.
Enjoy Summer!
Oi Camila, vim aqui te desejar um dia maravilhoso.bjsss
