When I use cash to pay my mechanic for something quick, they give me a discount and round to the nearest $10.

If I use a credit card, we have to go for a walk to the back office and wait for an old and creaky point-of-sale machine to navigate a slow network connection.

And then they pocket the money and never give you a receipt, right? You do know what that's called? =)
