During the Carter administration he urged people to ditch their credit cards and tighten our belts because of inflation. I got rid of my only credit card - the Master Charge. Some time after, I went to the department store to get a few pair of slacks and wrote a check. No credit card number to secure my check. I politely told them that I got rid of the cc at Carter's request and that if they didn't want to accept my check it was okay - I didn't need to get the slacks. The clerk consulted with her supervisor and I got my slacks. I wonder what would happen these days?
