do you pay your weed guy with Venmo?

I pay my weed store with Visa, via their web site which collects sales tax, and they deliver it to me that night with SMS updates along the way. Almost decadent.

I live in TN.

We still get our weed from shady dudes with machetes set up in $20 a night motels under interstate overpasses.

The way god intended.

Why yes, the state is horribly underfunded and ranks among the lower 20% of third world countries in education and dying in child birth but we have a robust for-profit prison system. Why do you ask?

Yeah legal places are behind the times because banks don't want to deal with weed money while it is still illegal on a federal level.

My guess is the only thing that passes any time soon is something like the SAFE Act, which just removes penalties from financial institutions for doing business with cannabis companies.

Reminder that Venmo payments have deets public by default so make sure to turn that to private if you're actually paying for drugs via that service.

The real tip is knowing that your performed your job to the best of your abilities and that your customers left happy. That's why here at Robobot's Bar and Grill we keep all our bartender's tips and use those funds to buy one (1) catered lunch for all of our qualifying employees (must maintain an "Exceeds" or "Outstanding" performance review record for the 13 month lookback period) every year.

I assume anyone who uses cash at all (and is younger than 60) is either a contractor or a drug dealer. I.e. people who don't pay taxes at all.

it used to be worse like back when bank of america could delay the deposit of your paper checks for two days for ~reasons~ but actually so they could ding you 35 dollars for every debit charge that is somehow not only instantaneous but is also sometimes retroactive a couple days so they can literally steal from the poor

I can one-up that. There’s a pierogi factory up the street from me. I guess was started by a lady named Sophie. So In my neighborhood every grocery store carries Sophie’s Choice Pierogis.

Cash is really common still in cities with casinos/largeish gambling establishments. Cause they'll gladly cash your paycheck with no fees, assuming you'll drop at least a couple bucks at a machine or whatever.

Sometimes people get paid in cash illegally for doing an otherwise legal job, so that everyone can avoid taxes.

Panhandling is generally illegal, so not even that.
