It's not free to run a payments network. So who should pay for it? Tax payer funded?

    Two options:

    Don't go cashless.

    Go cashless but fees = $0.

    Idgaf how it works, but it's asinine to have a $4 a month account keeping fee and pay per transaction to store and spend your own money. If it gets any worse I'll be pulling all my cash out and going cash only for everything.
