I understand that, but if there is a special occasion and I am out for dinner, these days the food is probably going to take up my fairly limited supply of cash. Therefore, because I need to save my cash to buy other things, I am probably going to want to put that on the debit card. So, yes, you can get out of it by saying that you could use your cash, but the fact is that that will get used up pretty quickly. Is that not the point? Before I walk into the restaurant, is there a process whereby people will know where they can and cannot use these cards? I can imagine this is going to be complicated. There will need to be splitting of bills. Restaurants do not do splitting of bills really well. Will a sign be up so that I am not embarrassed when I am confronted with this process?
