I’m picturing passing your card down the row through six pairs of hands, it gets scanned, passed back through six pairs of hands, and then the vendor throws you your bag of peanuts.Yep, they can run a card.![]()
I been to games where ya do it that way passin’ cash. Passin’ a card would work but it seems the time taking to run the card would be tedious.I’m picturing passing your card down the row through six pairs of hands, it gets scanned, passed back through six pairs of hands, and then the vendor throws you your bag of peanuts.
I’m talkin’ bout the walkin’ vendorsSeveral I've been in you order your food and beverages via an app. You just put your credit card in once in the app and you can use it all game long.

Buying a hot dog is not creating a debt,
So the hot dog seller is going to send you a Bill that establishes a debt?Sure it is
Debt is something owed or due
But once I have hot dog in hand, I do owe a debt.It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.www.federalreserve.gov
Buying a hot dog is not creating a debt, it's entering a contract. Customers and vendors are free to set terms for a contract that are acceptable to both sides, or not enter the contract at all.
All that phrase means is that if someone wants to accept it, they are assured that it’s real money. Nothing says they shall have to take cash - not on the dollar bull itself, not anywhere in statutory or case law."THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE"

That tap to pay with your phone is great until it takes you 15 minutes in the drive thru because your phone won't talk to the card reader and you end up having to park and go inside because you don't have the physical card because tap to pay is so convenient...whereas it took me less than two minutes to pay and leave with my outdated wad of paper. I guess I'm just too much of a peasant because I've never had so much cash in my wallet that it became an issue.All that phrase means is that if someone wants to accept it, they are assured that it’s real money.

Personally, I vastly prefer using a card or Apple Pay. More convenient, don’t need to stuff my wallet with a wad of paper, and I don’t get money back at Costco by paying cash.
If there’s a way to take your money, they’ll have it.
I’m planning a trip to a baseball game. The Stadium is cashless. Anyone been to one of those? I’m wondering about the walking vendors. Are they running credit cards?

My question is why would a person want to pay to sit in a stadium and watch millionaires play with balls.??
I get more entertainment watching peewee football and little league baseball. No telling what is going to happen. One pee wee football game there was a fumble. And someone knocked the box holding the extra footballs over, spilling 4 balls onto the field along with the one in play. One team recovered 3 balls, the other team recovered 2 balls.
Timeout while the refs hold a meeting. The ball was awarded to the team that recovered 3 balls...
Nothing like watching a little league game where one pitcher throws a no hitter game, and loses 14 to 12....
That's great until you go to one of the increasing number of places that don't take cash. Or you lose your wallet. Or you forget it at home.That tap to pay with your phone is great until it takes you 15 minutes in the drive thru because your phone won't talk to the card reader and you end up having to park and go inside because you don't have the physical card because tap to pay is so convenient...whereas it took me less than two minutes to pay and leave with my outdated wad of paper.

I don’t recall that I’ve ever had a vendor-supplied hot dog in my hand until after the vendor was paid.But once I have hot dog in hand, I do owe a debt.
That's why I like minor league better. The admission is next to nothing, the beer is cheap. You can talk to the players and scream at the officials and they'll hear you. You're within feet of the action.My question is why would a person want to pay to sit in a stadium and watch millionaires play with balls.??
Agree. There's a Cass A farm team (Dayton Dragons) of the Reds less than an hour from Cincinnati. I used to have season tix to the Dragons to watch kids trying to make the bigs so they could become overpaid oafs like the MLB Players. Never a desire to see the Reds. I stopped going when the Dragons lawyers or their insurance company made them put up two story netting from Home Plate all the way down to the foul poles at the Right and Left field walls. If I wanted to see performers in a cage, I would go to the Zoo.That's why I like minor league better. The admission is next to nothing, the beer is cheap.

This is why you save all your expired cards, and you just go through card after card, and get the vendor to hand you the dog while they are running card number four. Boom. Debt achieved.I don’t recall that I’ve ever had a vendor-supplied hot dog in my hand until after the vendor was paid.
You must really want that hot dog.This is why you save all your expired cards, and you just go through card after card, and get the vendor to hand you the dog while they are running card number four. Boom. Debt achieved.
Nah, just don't like the whole no cash mandate.You must really want that hot dog.
Nauga,
and a death dog on wheels

I don't get the point of Apple Pay. How is it more convenient than using a contact chip credit card?
Savannah Bananas is to minor league baseball what LIV Golf is to the PGA, lol. Also like what Harlem Globe Trotters is to the NBA.Baseball is boring. The Savannah Bananas. Now that’s real entertainment.![]()
