If you ever want to confuse a cashier, ask if you can pay with United States of America Federal Reserve Notes.....

Paypal is ok because you can at least make the payment as a guest with a credit card and not have to make an account.

I'd never open a venmo account though.

Why wouldn't you? PayPal owns them, so they already have your data. LOL

Get off my lawn, kid!

I don't have Paypal, Venmo, Cash App, Farcebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or any of that other crap. Working in the IT/networking/security field for 38 years has taught me what the issue is first-hand. Hell, I don't even use SMS texts!

When I checked out of the hospital on Wednesday, the discharge person explained how there were instructions in my paperwork bundle to create a user account on the hospital's patient portal to access all of my records. I told them no thanks, because homey don't create user accounts just to receive breach notices a few months later because some amateur IT clowns can't secure their systems. The hospital actually had someone call me this morning to see why I didn't create my user account yet! My response was that I don't use smart phones or computers, and don't know anything about that fancy Internet stuff. (I was road crew on the information superhighway when it was still a dirt road, and my work email address is older than Google.)

FWIW, I do use Apple Pay from my Watch whenever we travel, but don't have the Apple Cash feature configured. I'm not a complete luddite.....

PP will take a credit card. BTW I would not use Protools. I have it and it's not very user friendly outside of some basic functions which can be achieved for less money (Foxwell BMW scanner).

Just download ISTA+ instead
