It is a good idea not to pay with cash.

Every time I pay with cash (fortunatly they are all small things) I lose the receipt, if there is one. Then, if something happens, noone will actknowledge your payment. Last year, I ended up very unhappy with a dentist. I finally stopped going and cot another one. According to the "system" I had paid less and she had done more. No comments. I know what they do in my mouth. But I had paid in cash most of the time. Now I had a dentist appointment. First the dentist had forgotten that he had not done a through cleaning, yet such cleaning was in my bill. I reminded him the steps of my appointments, one by one. And then I went to see about the billing with the secretary. She had two payments in her book and I was certain that I had paid 3 times. But this time I first extended a check and then, the 2 other times, I paid with my credit card. I told her that I would check at home, as I did not remember but the Bank would. All that was said with a smile. As soon as I reached home, I checked as, surelly, there were all the payments. So, before this post, I wrote a love letter to the secretary, including dates. DON´T pay with cash.
