Also contrary to reality (source: me, being Swedish), and logic; A retailer will hardly refuse to accept cash (although buses do refuse cash to avoid the risk of robbery), while you might avoid buying if you need to handle cash.
- x1798DE 11y agoThat phrase is literally linked to an article called "Sweden: 'We don't accept cash'" (https://www.credit-suisse.com/us/en/news-and-expertise/economy/articles/news-and-expertise/2015/03/en/sweden-we-dont-accept-cash.html https://www.credit-suisse.com/us/en/news-and-expertise/econo...). It seems like what you are saying is that they are just making some sort of pun, but you can see why this would seem like it's about people being suspicious of cash.
