I think you Aussies are on to something

So smokedamage has mentioned many times about how much he misses walking into a pub with various colors of bills in his pocket. Without thinking he has associated different colors with an approximate different number of drinks, thereby bypassing having to use the brain while in the pub. He also misses the coins left in the pocket at the end of the night, the better to buy a kabob with, my dear.

I think this is such a great idea, the cash bar, because it would keep a person like me from continually forgetting my debit card at the club. I always forget to close out my tab before leaving and did not disappoint my adoring fans last night.

So, seci, it looks like I will definitely be going back out there tonight so that I can get my card back before it gets lost to card oblivion again.

Cash? That's sounds so familiar somehow. Cash. Cash.

That's that green stuff that people used to carry around with them, right?

Of course, that requires me remembering to go by the ATM before going out. True, there's one there at the club, but if I can go by my own bank and avoid ATM fees that's preferred.

Exactly.
I am VERY Familiar with 'cash'
Much as I would like it, they seldom give me their Gold Cards for tips, LOL.
"Oh Baby, let me save you the effort, I'll go to the ATM FOR you...."
Heh

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Did you get your wits addled?

[trickykitty.livejournal.com]

Heh, you act as if my wits are normally intact.

The new 10 isn't all green. Of course now that I'm actually thinking about it I can't for the life of me remember what color it is, but I think it's got a hint of orange to it. I just know that when I first saw it I stared for some time (and I think freaked out the guy at the register a little bit).

How many times do I have to tell you to quit scaring the register guys?

But they're so cute when they look nervous. Most men are.

That suddenly reminds me of Lloyd Dobler shaking in the "sex scene" of Say Anything.

ugh - you did it again? Okay, tonight it will be my job to make sure you remember to close your tab :-)

As much as I hate to say it, tonight is a night to go early.

I'm really not that much up to going, but I really don't have a choice with the card left there. I wish I could go home and take the evening to just sit back and relax. Tomorrow night is gaming night and there's a chance of going to Scarborough Faire on Sunday. Busy, busy.

you'll feel better *hopefully* once you get out there. Ack about Scarby - HOT

1. its kebab! or a yeeros in my new hood.
2. the lack of use of brain also ends up in the loss of yellow notes (50s) without recalling exactly when or how... this is not a good thing!
3. if i put a card over the bar i'd be broke! at least by taking cash i know i have to stop at some point...
4. where'd you go last night?

[trickykitty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to spell kebab.

Luckily, I have never run up a tab more than I was already expecting to spend. The credit card tabs are the norm around here, but yeah, I'm thinking that I better start doing the cash thing.

Thursday night was The Church, Friday night was a pool party, tonight is our Cyberpunk game and I've been asked about going to Scarborough Faire (http://www.scarboroughrenfest.com/) on Sunday, but it will depend on how late we are up tonight with the game.

The bars I frequent dont do tabs; cold, hard, cash-only. I've thought before, that I'd like the "tab" thing, but then I realized I'd end up drinking waaaaaaaaay too much (debit/credit cards doesn't always seem like "real" money, until you see your bank balance--at least for me).
