Whenever I stand in line waiting to pay, I always check out how the person in front of me pays. As I have blogged before, the dreaded moment is when the 60-year old woman takes out her checkbook and spends ten minutes filling out a $27.42 check.

If you pay attention to such things, you too would be shocked at the versatility us humans have at organizing (or lack thereof) cash and credit cards. Here is what I come up with so far:

1. Women’s pocketbook that holds photos, credit cards, cash, change, bobby pins, has multiple pockets. When this person pays with cash, she takes out paper bills and then counts out the change from her change pocket.

2. Women’s change purse and wallet combo. This woman has a petite wallet that holds credit cards and cash and a separate change purse. Question: Does anyone use change anymore?

3. Women’s wallet. Most popular, holds credit cards and cash.

4. Men’s money clip that goes in front pocket that holds cash.

5. Men’s money clips that goes in front pocket that holds cash and credit cards.

6. Men’s wallet that holds cash and credit cards.

7. Men’s wallet that holds credit cards.

8. Men’s wallet that hold cash, credit cards, photos, and addresses.

9. Those that have no wallet and stuff cash and/or credit card in their purse and/or pocket.

10. And finally, those that walk around with no wallet, no cash or credit cards and have the person next to them pay for their purchases.

I’m happy we don’t sell wallets.

Happy Thursday!
