Changed my mind about those 'pay with cash for a discount' fast food deals

I used to think getting 10% off for paying cash at a local burger place was a smart move. Saved maybe $2 per visit. Then last Tuesday I went in with $40 cash for a family meal, handed it over, and the kid at the register dropped it behind the counter. Manager said it wasn't their problem because I didn't get a receipt. Walked out with no food and no money. Lost the whole $40. Now I just use my card everywhere, even if it costs a little more. Anyone else get burned by these cash only deals?

That sucks, but did they at least offer to check the cameras?

That's rough, hope they actually follow through with it.

oh i saw something about how half those cameras are fake anyway, just for show. i read this whole article about how most businesses just have dummy cameras to scare people off without paying for the real ones
