I mean, since the last time I’ve visited: it seems like no one ever carries it. I prefer it because CC charge additional fees (which end up making the item cost more) I have a small rant about that: STOP RIPPING OFF PEOPLE WITH THOSE SURCHARGES?! (It should be 0 rather than 1%) as it may seem trivial, they add up overtime. Are stores allowed to refuse cash payments outright despite them being legal tender?

    I mean so was everything that predated a new technology. We should all etch shit in stone by this logic.

    I have competition, price and privacy concerns too but still this argument is ridiculous in the face of lived experience.

      Shit fails and you need alternatives when in a bind. It’s not even close to being a ridiculous comment.

          For when:

          • Your telco is down
          • Your internet is down
          • Your bank is down
          • The telco, internet or bank of the vendor is not available
          • Your phone updates/has a fit
          • Your payment app updates/has a fit
          • Google/Apple/Samsung has a fit

          You guys convinced me I should keep carrying enough cash to get ripped off by a taxi to get home.
