I do agree cashless huge is privacy invasion but also inequality issue.
Anecdote: My local trains have cashless ticket machines inside (machines on bus/trams are still cash/card). Every day I see people suprised and asking someone - "Can you buy a ticket for me with card and I give you 1,5€ in cash?".
- totalZero 7y agoI totally agree. It also puts tourists and travelers at a disadvantage, as well as others who do not have a domestic account and rely on exchanging currency or making affiliate bank withdrawals with a debit card. I have been to several businesses abroad, including gas stations and movie theaters, where international credit cards are not accepted -- ie, their POS device will accept Visa but only if the card is domiciled in the same country. I view a cashless society as an economy that discriminates against poor people and foreigners.
