    And oddly the only way to buy weed on plastic around here (legally) is for you to use a debit card, which they round up to the next $5 and give you back the change (which most usually ends up in the budtenders tip jar anyway).

    It’s because the way the law is written, it’s actually processed as an ATM transaction.

    Obviously this is a legal loophole, but there are legitimate reasons to extract more than necessary.

        It’s kinda silly but it’s really equally silly to use the stores ATM (or a neighbors) just to give them cash. Having cash, for me, though, is a weird thing. I’m pretty well disciplined with spending on credit cards, but the idea of having “finite money” with me is challenging. What is too much money to carry regularly? What is too little to get through the day, barring any unexpected expenses.

        At least my bank reimburses ATM fees, including those from the dispensaries.
