That is the very definition of suspicious!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

FBI says paying cash for coffee is a sign of terrorist intent
I do this all the time. Is using cash no longer normal?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Is using cash no longer normal?
Sure it is.

Because books.
I just took cash out the other day, because I hate running into WaWa or for fast food and using my card if it's less than $5. I know I *can* do it, it just feels wrong.
Anyway, I like cash. Much easier to really see how much you're spending.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So New Orleans is full of terrorist small business owners? This place is still largely a cash-based economy. My *GP* only takes cash or check, no credit cards.
The coffee store around the corner only takes cash and doesn't serve decaf; I suspect they tend towards anarchy.

In all seriousness, I am suspicious of places that don't take cards, I actually assume they are doing something dodgy with taxes.

Because I know my wife, I have bypassed traditional chocolate V-Day treats and went hard through the Trader Joe's cheese aisle.
Happy Cheesentine, Jacqueline!
I hope you like the stilton.

It's pretty common for Brooklyn restaurants to be cash-only, especially if they don't have a takeout/delivery business.
