It's not clear that cash transactions are any cheaper for retail stores
than credit cards.  Most banks charge commercial customers for EACH
check deposited.  There are charges for returned checks, for rolls of
coins and in some places for straps of currency.  Banks have found that
they can nickel and dime their commercial customers as well as
individuals.  Oh, for the good old days of free checking without $2500
minimum balances and no `membership fee' credit cards!
