Power outages, website crashes and glitches, not to mention other things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] h_ramus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm with you on that. However, some places in Asia are moving that way. Signs on shops with cashless payment only.

But the gov does not enforce the cash acceptance law. It’s bizarre. Even more bizarre that people just go along with it. There was a case where a group went to an illegally cashless cafe. They ordered food and drinks and when the bill came they said “we only have cash”. The shop threatened to call the police. The customers said: please, we will wait. Police came. Customers explained that thier cash was refused. Police said: well, nothing for us to do here.. you’re free to go. We need more people to exploit unlawfully cashless situations. People should be happy to benefit while also doing a community service. Of course it’s not for folks who are afraid of cops and courts. permalink fedilink source parent
