I use to think the same thing as well Leasha, that it had to actually be cash. Then I had a friend who ordered a lounge from out of town, and paid 'cash' when it was delivered..her cash was a cheque though. I found it weird.

I went into Good Guys while visiting my parents a few weeks ago, to get a rice cooker for DH as he was cooking dinner for everyone. Anyway, no one was around, so i just picked up the rice cooker and took it to the counter, they then called someone to the counter to take it and me back to their little computer so they could give me a discount. I thought if i took it to the counter myself, that they wouldn't give me a discount, but they did.
