Like i would buy a 99cents sundae at mcdonalds and would always use my debit to pay for it. Sometimes i feel the cashier says "ffffffuuuu" deep downinside. so is wat im doing wrong or is it okay?
 
I do it all the time, unless they charge me for small purchases. I personally don't like having cash on me.
 
i dont see whats wrong with it, its the same as if you took money out, comes from the same account
 
I do it all the time. I bought 75 cents worth of cat food the other day with my debit card, the guy looked at me like I was insane but what can I do when Idon't have cash on me? Would you prefer I steal it?
 
eh...the only think to worry about is the vendor who has to eat a small %tage b/c of the fees charged by the credit card companies

I personally don't like using a card for anything under $20...but whatever... it's your loot.
 
i have a purchase charge of .97 cent, had to have my vanilla oreos, awkward look from the cashier

I do it all the time, I have WaMu debit and I get 3 cents back for every debit purchase, so it's actually better if I pay with debit for dollar items.
 
Yea man i do it all the time. The people I hate are the people that write a check for that 99 cent sundae
 
I use my debit card on everything except Haircuts ...and if my barber excepted debit, he'd be seeing the card too

I'm the opposite. I don't pay for anything under $20 in cash. Put it all on the debit card. Everything else is paid in cash over $20.
 
I rarely carry more than $40 on me so anything under that, I usually use cash....I wouldn't say it's wrongthough...Just your preference...
