I’d be the last person to bitch about vendors not accepting a credit card, since I prefer to pay cash for 90% of in-person stuff anyway. I wish MORE vendors would take cash without a hassle in the US.
I don’t really eat much processed food either, and am generally not a big consumer. Most of the “stuff” that I own other than clothing is second or third hand. I don’t expect the world around me to be perfect and work seamlessly.
Basically, I have low expectations, so I’m seldom disappointed.
