my first thought would be "is this person really into kayaking or something?
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
Gets your point across when you go to leave a tip, I guess
What do you mean or
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.
Big 
energy
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.

That is very impressive!
best wallet I ever had was 15c at a garage sale. I second this wearing out fast, ziploc bags arent abrasion resistant
My wife does this and she's a Lib. So I'm married to a crazy psychopath. That tracks.
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.
I used to do this surfing so I didn't have to carry a wallet while out.
"it does the trick" style 
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)

Ziploc bags are annoying
Cyclist?
You can shove a plastic bag into your jersey and your cash/cards won’t get sweaty. ID and snack cash.
I did this all the time as a kid and the amount of money my parents spent replacing duct tape probably surpassed the cost of an actual wallet.
I’ve been using the same wallet for at least a decade or two now - it’s quite literally made out of some tarp and duct tape.
Have you considered putting the bag in a purse? Some have metal reinforced straps, so you don't have to worry about a cut and grab. Harder to lose than a baggy and can fit a lot more stuff.
I would do this when running during rainstorms.
I've just used the same wallet for like 20 years.
Good for those water-foam concerts/festivals.
last week i left a few hundred dollars that someone had given me on a windowsill and it got absolutely soaked with rain, but it was plastic canadian bills so it was fine. if ur money is paper this is a good solution to that problem.
American money is made of cloth not paper. It definitely weakens when wet, but doesn't disintegrate.
Yes.
