Cash jobs are jobs no one can prove happen, it’s only done to avoid IRS/CRA. Legit businesses need proof of work done, it also builds their portfolio and is advertising.

The only “culture” of cash payments is shady business since the only reason it’s done is to avoid proof that you made money.

Now the fact that lots of criminals also have tattoos has a lot to do about it as well… but no one wants to have that conversation either.

Cash only is never legitimate, sorry.
