Everyone likes to say it’s just a ‘few bad apples’ but fail to realize the actual quote they are referring to: ‘one bad apple spoils the bunch’.

It's amazing how often quotes get bastardized. I think the most common is "Money is the root of all evil," instead of "The love of money is the root of all evil."

Well I personally think money is pretty evil too. Would be nice to not deal with coins ever again and just have paper money.

The only time I pay cash for anything now is when it's a cash only transaction, which is pretty uncommon. So I keep a couple of bucks in change in a coin purse, just in case. I can't even remember the last time I had to pull it out, though, thankfully, because I can't stand it either. I was sooo happy when we got rid of pennies, too. It made a big difference in how much change you had to deal with.
