Why are some clients saying “I only pay in cash”, when…

Funny, but he eventually agreed on Zelle. 

Zelle is good because it's one of the few that generally can't be disputed or reversed, unlike a Cash App or Venmo or Paypal transaction. The protections for this were built into the Zelle terms and conditions when it was founded by the consortium of banks. It has Congress panties in a twist because of it but it's really safe.

Cash is king, especially if you’re a new client to a provider you’ve never seen before. I just add it to my day’s checklist before he arrives: douche (check); shower (check); brush teeth (check); bottles of water by the bed (check); pillow mints/snacks (because of course); wipes (just in case); extra underwear (in case he rips mine off 😉); lube / condoms (check); cash (check!!!)

Viola!

Et voilà, summoned.

"Cash is a dead thing now"  🤨 you say...... I strongly disagree and still believe that "cash is king 👑"

Since you're new to the board ( just this last Halloween 🎃 ) welcome to COM I'll tell you that I've been in San Diego twice in 3 weeks, Los Angeles twice in 3 weeks, and now back to PS three times in 3 weeks and I've not requested or required a deposit... based upon the many folks I see and have seen, deposits are most certainly not the norm and probably for a good reason. 

Agree to disagree it all depends on who you are hiring and what city you are in. It’s that simple and most providers who you hoer for outcall require deposits this is my experience and yes it’s becoming a norm now again the newer generation are asking this not 35 plus year old providers

If the provider I’m hiring does not accept cash, I’m not hiring.  It doesn’t matter who they are or where they’re located.  It’s that simple.

This is why I love me my 35 year old plus providers. (I can think of a few other reasons too.) 😉

A “private stock” provider whom I’ve been meeting for almost 10 years will turn 36 in January and is hotter than ever, especially since he started lifting. And, yes, I still like young 20s too.

Jarrod and/or Chiguy3, today, three of us went to a restaurant for lunch. Before we sat down, we were told their credit card authorization system was not working and unless we had cash we could not eat there. Fortunately, we had cash . Cash is King. Clients pay your rent/car payment etc.. If the client wants to pay cash and many do for reasons already stated multiple times, deal with it. You’re in business to serve the client, not the other way around.

As soon as I sense that I am like the one “providing” service to the provider, it’s the end of the line for me. Goodbye!

I was at a kiosk at the local mall the other day. They had a sign that they didn’t take cash. I wasn’t going to pay with cash, but I told them I wasn’t interested anymore because they didn’t accept cash.

Cash is untraceable. 

To most cash is (still) King.

…when there’s ample hotels that don’t accept cash? Like come on, don’t play games. They should know just as well. I’ve stayed at a mid level hotel last week in, and prior to that a Hilton in a downtown area. More and more are not accepting cash anywhere on the property to check in or pay for food, unless it’s a tip.
 

Idk why some people have this idea that they should only give cash, though it’s usually to avoid giving a deposit or some irrational fear that a provider is going to hack their account somehow. Even if it’s paper trail issue: there’s ways to get around that. Lots of cheap prepaid card options. There’s even banks that offer a separate debit card number, from your main account.

I’m not a no cash person, but I can’t plan multi-city tours, based on someone potentially showing up with cash. I’ve done that before many times, sometimes it works: many times it doesn’t. For me it’s better to KNOW it will, so I don’t waste time and money going out to places with no actual proof of a real man being available to meet. There needs to be an expectation that a confirmation besides cash is going to be required by some.

I always feel slightly self conscious when counting the cash as I walk down the hotel corridor having finished the client and left his room. It’s as if hotel security is watching on video surveillance and I’ll be stopped as I leave via the lobby. Totally irrational of course because the hotel doesn’t care but nevertheless it’s a thing for me so I count it in the lift (elevator).

I prefer being paid in cash, somehow it feels better to have the notes in my pocket than the money appearing in my account 2 days later (less the banks’ fee 😬)…

It's particularly irrational because hotels are more likely to have cameras in the elevators than in the corridors and it will probably be easier to see you counting in the elevator camera than when walking along the corridor.  But we all have our quirks.  🙂

With me, you won’t have to do that.  I always ask guys to count the money as I hand it to them in an envelope.  To Latinos, I endearingly say, “Cuentalo, por favor”

That should be against the law, and in some places it might be.

Saying "no cash" in America these days means the same as "no poor people."

[mike carey]

At the risk of keeping this thread off topic - remember, the question is about why clients want to pay only in cash, not a general Lounge appropriate discussion about whether cash still has a role - in this country cash is a fading payment method but, unlike cheques is not dead. Cash is legal tender but that doesn't mean you are always entitled to use it. A contract trumps the right to use cash and can specify how you have to pay. A sign in a shop saying 'No cash' is part of your contract to buy something there. You can always decide not to patronise them, but if they only lose say 1% of their business they may not care. Some politicians chasing publicity have caused a momentary fuss (that usually lasts for about a New York minute) but Parliament usually only passes things the one of the major parties want it to.

[mike carey]

That said, I'm happy to pay any way the provider prefers, I have cash ready but am more than happy to use PayID (bank-run direct payment) or credit/debit card (never happened). In the US card or cash would be my only options.

That is exactly right. I had a recent overnight and on the way to breakfast, my provider took the cash I had given him and deposited it in an ATM of a bank he uses. 
He explained later that the deposit to his credit card, which was maxed out, would enable him to extend his stay at the hotel he was in.

I’m just the opposite. I always have the cash in an envelope which I hand to my provider as we are wrapping up. I of course would not feel aggrieved if he opened it to count the bills but in the vast number of times (I can only remember once) he has put the envelope unopened in his pocket, backpack or whatever. 
It must be my honest face!

I honestly can’t remember if a provider has ever counted the cash in front of me—I don’t think one ever has. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they did (it might feel a bit awkward if they did at the beginning, but I’d adjust). I always leave the cash in an envelope on a table where they can see it as they walk in. This approach helps avoid any initial conversation about it. Most of the men I see are regulars, so this has become a kind of shorthand. But when I meet someone new, I never hand the money directly to them. 

[Luv2play]

I don’t mind handing the envelope with the cash inside directly to the provider. It’s always as we are about to part or leave the hotel room if we are going to breakfast. They invariably graciously accept it and thank me. 

While I recognize our date has been a transactional one, I like to think of it as a boyfriend experience, and I tell them that in setting things up beforehand. Giving them something that helps pay the rent or the car payment makes me feel good. 
 

Life has been good to me and I like to share the riches. Not that I’m a rich guy, I’m not. But  as a retiree I don’t have to worry about making a living. These providers we engage do and I appreciate where they are coming from.

It's in poor taste ( in my opinion; it can imply that you don't trust someone and or that they can't count ) I will count it when folks insist I count it though. My two cents no pun intended 😜

Agreed. However, I will go out of my way not to let that affect the mood. Our time together is finite.
