I can't believe how willingly people submitted to going cashless. I was at a trendy rivertown restaurant, went to pay with cash, and the shock on people's faces was unbelievable, like I was some ancient alien. It honestly feels pretty forced, like there's a hyper-fashionable status attached to paying digitally. It's not the first time people lapped up a status marker hawked to them by some globocorp, just like iphones, luxury cars, etc.

- shortcake27 3y agoI'm cashless for none of the reasons you mentioned. It's simply more convenient. I don't have to constantly visit ATMs to withdraw money or carry my wallet, deal with coins etc. And my spending is tracked automatically. People can have opinions - just because you prefer cash it doesn't mean people who prefer cashless are brainwashed by globocorps.
- lisasays 3y agoThey weren't talking about people who prefer cashless as being brainwashed by the globocorps. But rather merchants who insist that you go cashless - and not only refuse to serve you, but look at you as if you just emerged from a swap and learned to walk on land if you don't go along.
