[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at KPMG in August 2023 when NYC blackout happened. right in middle of a heat wave. Subway down, ATMS down, huge heatwave and no credit card machine working.

I recall the Partner had around $3,000 bucks on him. He put a few people in Cabs paid cash, he even rented a Hertz car cash as we had an account but he had to do it in cash, none of staff had much cash on him. After he got all his people gone he casually walked over to the Midtown  in his suit with briefcase and there was a line of cars very slowly trying to get in tunnel. He just said anyone going to Garden City some guy in a BMW and a suit goes yea why, he goes I will give you $100 bucks to drop me off my house. guy goes sure.

My sister slept on the front steps of her office building in 90 degree heat after building tossed them out at midnight due to it got too hot in building and windows dont open. Her husband with traffic and cell phones not working did not get connected to her till 5 am and got her. But hey she does not carry cash.     [/quote]
