Unless they are getting paid in cash.

Has anyone else noticed that people are paying in cash a lot more than
usual?  I don't take credit cards, so it's either cash or check, but on the
average I normally get maybe one customer per month that pays me in cash.
Maybe, two.  

Since January, I've been flush in cash.  Every week, one or two customers
pay me in cash.  I haven't used an ATM since '08.

So, I'm wondering: anyone else experience this lately?  And if so, could
this somehow be a bi-product of the recession?  (I could understand people
using a credit card in tough times to forestall payment, but I don't see how
paying in cash would be an advantage.)
