what a difference 10 days make in So Cal, 2 weeks ago I had no problem with a bunch of 7s, stopped by them today everyone said ca$h only

Decided for the heck of it to go SW and see if my old place was also ca$h only, TG they werent and I made a wrong turn on my way there and passed another 7 and they too took my CC. But its getting alot harder and SoCal is getting like NYC very fast
