Nothing says “I’m a dodgy illegitimate” like being against cashless venues.

Whilst I embrace cashless and use my phone for pretty much everything now, there are still a number of people generally old who can’t get their heads round it. There pretty much needs to be a cash option to ensure people are on disenfranchised.

This is going to sound harsh but if they cannot get their head around cashless (basically tapping a card to pay for things) then they shouldn't be carrying around physical money. Cashless is absolutely a simpler method of payment.

Cashless plays..or rather "pays" into the hands of business. Whilst we are all responsible for our own budgeting it is so easy to spend more than you anticipate/budget for/ can afford when you don't physically hand over your cash.
With cash, once you have spent it....you spend no more...with a card...you can just tap tap tap beyond your means.

Cashless pays into the hands of banks. Cash paid for the development of our country because the government created and sold it. Virtual money is created by banks and is just a way for bankers to become rich whilst we all apathetically sit at home complaining about them. If everybody decided to use cash and bin off their credit cards, we'd have some money to fix the NHS and other public services.

If you have any interest in the economy and how broken the system is, I recommend you watch this documentary [url]https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2145874/[/url] It explains how money works and how control and power has shifted to the banks from government. Whilst we all sit at home watching the rich get richer whilst the cost for us to buy a home has gone from 2x annual earnings to nearly 6x and 40 year mortgages are now a thing. The whole system needs to change, but because nobody understands how it actually works, we just get a new credit card to buy the latest gadget and feed the broken system.

As i am mature socially awkward person I carry both 1. When i pop into "Mo's" grab a bit of shopping I use cash to test the young girl on the till as it takes a little bit longer too. 2. Pop in the pub on the way home use cash so when it runs out I go home happy content with myself and not To inebriated ..use card get carried away. Me i just like to carry both cover all options And always ask what an establishment prefers Making sure the price list on the wall tallys up to what you are Paying for !! UTM

People should always have a choice wether to use cash or card, forcing people to use card is just another way of control.
