Money Laundering

Effective yesterday, the tollbooths on our state's toll highway are not accepting cash or credit card payment. If you don't have a transponder in your car, it will take a photo of your license plate and send you a bill. (I got this already on a toll bridge they changed recently - it made me feel like I was doing something wrong as I drove through, and then I got a bill later.) Will this put tollbooth operators out of business once its proven that they're not necessary?

I wanted to order food delivery for dinner, and asked on Facebook about tipping the delivery driver without cash, since I know some services pocket tips made through the app by reducing the driver's base pay. It looks like currently, Door Dash, Postmates, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, and Instacart pass tips to their workers. Some of the other grocery and take-out apps may not. But do a little research for the latest information. And please do tip your delivery people, they're out there doing what you [responsibly] don't want to, and not getting paid much for it. They may also be out of work from some other industry that isn't running. So be considerate.

My husband sent me this photo: while at work, he wiped down all his cash 😂
