      This makes the most sense, as I only use a zip-loc system when spending time on the water. Otherwise my cards and money just sit in my back pocket, held only by my forceful glutes and a protective layer of receipts I may need later. Wallets became obsolete after the invention of pockets.

    The client across the desk pulls out a tweezer and begins peeling Benjamins from the stack in the paper bag, using the utmost care not to touch them with his hands.

    I press the alarm beneath the desk.

    personally I just use a rubber band to hold my cash to the grip of my glock, which is then placed loose in my pocket along with another magazine

    Whatever works. I’ve known lots of people over the years who make wallets out of duct tape. Durable as hell, lasts forever, gets the job done.

      I made a paper wallet on a lark, and I ended up preferring it to a leather one. It’s just so thin and simple.

    My wife does this and she’s a Lib. So I’m married to a crazy psychopath. That tracks.

    I think it’ll break after a few weeks so probably not the best wallet.

    Probably worth spending $1 at a thrift store instead!

      My wife’s ziplock money bag has lasted since before COVID. I keep yelling at her about using cash, to but she’s stubborn. She keeps coins in there too, so it’s not just bills.

    I used to do this surfing so I didn’t have to carry a wallet while out.

    It’s definitely a red flag, but it’s the kind that someone waves in front of me to get my attention. I like it.

    this would fall out of your pocket so easily and you wouldn’t even notice it

    buy a 3 dollar cardholder from aliexpress instead and use hair ties to hold your cash against the outside (what I do)
