There are two very legitimate and non-suspicious reasons that I have had a need to carry large amounts of cash from time to time.
Neither of which are anybody's business, except mine.
No, people do not use plastic for everything. I have no debt. My travel cards are paid monthly.
No, a cashiers check will not always work.
If I told you what they were you would likely agree that it is not at all suspicious. You assume a lot by your blanket accusation.
