I'd say about 80% of the time, cash is faster than a credit/debit card. I’m with everyone else – those commercials are soooo annoying!

I will say, bring your card to McDonalds...It does work like in the commercials. Swipe your card and your done, no questions at all. Not sure why Mickey D's can do it and all these other vendors can't...I do get annoyed with all the questions: "Are you sure?" YES..."Are you sure that you're sure?" AHH! Tim I also use cash back all the time as its easier to get cash when I’m already getting something else, rather than make a separate trip to an ATM.

The only other commercial I hate more are the Mac ones with the cool Mac guy and the nerdy PC user. I like paying for things with cash and I like my PC!

So my friends and I would head over to the 24 hour McDonalds across the road, buy a chocolate flake for 30 cents, and get $20 cash out. Being asked if you want cash back isn't ALWAYS a bad thing :) Jonathan Not having to worry about credit card debt ever again: Priceless.

They must have no scruples whatsoever to imply that paying with cash is somehow less savvy than using a credit card. It is ridiculous the level these companies will stoop to for their profit.
