Personally, if the man was buying it for me, and I was there with him, I would prefer that he pay by check or credit. When a black man pays for something expensive with cash, people usually assume that he is employed in some illegal profession.

I almost always pay for things by check or credit. I am notorious for never having any cash. I hate going to the MAC machine to take out money because it's usually one for another bank and then I have to pay all of those fees. Or, if I do go, I'll only get as much as I need right then and there. I rarely withdraw more than $20.

When I shop, I try to pay by check instead of credit. I like to pay for things right up front instead of some weeks down the line. If I'm in a rush, I'll use my card because some cashiers do not even know what to do with the check once I give it to them.
