Some of those are incorrect. It's easy enough to use a personal card reader to take cards at garage sales, trade shows, flea markets and such now. They're not hard or expensive to get. You can basically get a free one from Square and just get charged a small percent for each purchase.
Tipping is practically a built in feature now for card purchases. I think I've heard that some places prefer tips included with card purchases as they're easier to track and divide up.
Not given the context of the post. The post says that NONE of those things are possible in a cashless society. I also mentioned that there is a fee, which at 2.5% is very easy for vendors to absorb, especially as they typically factor it into their sale prices to begin with. Most retailers, restaurants, etc do this as well, though some do offer discounts if you pay in cash.
Fee aside, using cards for personal transactions is possible with card readers and apps you can download. While you may prefer cash, many people prefer cards as they have a recourse to get their money back if they were cheated by someone that refuses to remedy a situation.
Again, the posters says NO, yet those personal transactions and tips ARE possible without cash. That's all I'm saying.

I would say that the rest are still valid.
Using square at swap shows is expensive. Fuck paying those 2.5% fees. Tion in cash and the server doesn’t pay tax on the tip.
All of these are quite valid.
