Word on the street

Voelz

Which method of payment do you prefer: credit, debit, cash or check?

“Probably eight times out of 10 I would use my debit card. I just feel a lot safer not carrying around a large amount of cash.”

Emily Kelly

journalism sophomore

“I mostly use debit because credit cards tend to get people in trouble. I’ve had bad luck with credit cards.”

Mark Johnson

hospitality business sophomore

“Probably debit just because I know what money I have and when I’m using it so I don’t use money I don’t have.”

Matt Dossey

hospitality business senior

“My debit card because that’s my money I have to pay for stuff.”

Amanda Perelli

education freshman

“Cash because you don’t have to worry about paying it back later.”

Mike Voelz

criminal justice junior
