CASHLESS SOCIETY. Frens, I live in Rand McNally.🪃 Since Covid, almost every retailer wants tap and go. (Cashless). I insist on cash! I have had dirty looks, and blatant frustration aimed toward me simply because I’m using cash. I love handing $5.25 in coins to the drive through people for my morning coffee. Especially when they poke the cattle prod ‘tap payment’ stick in my car window. I have even had to leave premises because I wanted to pay with money and they didn’t have change. Now the STATISTICS in rand mcnally will tell you that cash payments are diminishing, and by their thinking, cash is outdated. Those stats are probably true. But they don’t take into account how many local banks have closed, and how many ATM machines charge you up to $3.50 to take your own money out. ( many are limited to $200. So, if you want to withdraw say $300, that will cost you $7.00). OF YOUR OWN MONEY!
But my real question is this… if we do happen to turn into a cashless society, WOULD WE REALLY NEED BANKS? perhaps the answer to this question is the solution to this problem. NO CASH, NO BANKS. It could stop cashless in its tracks. Because government and banks are friends.
