Is that the real reason? Or because it’s a) safer for the shop (no cash on hand) and b) much simpler for the staff (no counting money, figuring out change etc…)
Not everything is purely about being evil you know…
I don’t wear earbuds to make it easier to ignore people who try to approach me on the sidewalk, but I definitely appreciate it when I ignore them and they move on. Both can be true at the same time.
yeah, a shop near me started accepting cash again after being cashless for a while.
why?
because their staff were being abused by a few people.
now it takes them more time (read: costs them more money) to count and sort the money, and they have to store it, which isn’t safe, so they need to spend more money on security. Oh, and banks aren’t open outside business hours, so someone needs to leave the shop to deposit money (which takes time and fuel, both costing money).
Suffice to say, they are unhappy about using cash again.
