I'm not getting more cash, but since I do accept credit cards, more customers are using them.

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.)
