In days gone by, American consumers used to, occasionally, get a discount for paying cash for a product or service.

The sellers had the revenue immediately. There was no lag time at a credit card company, or bank. And retailers found that helpful.

Now it’s just the opposite.

A Houston Herald report tells how Noa Khamallah wanted to buy popcorn and a soda at Yankee Stadium, and was directed to an ATM, where he deposited $200 in cash, and got back a debit card –with a balance of $196.50.
