Why do you get to impose "consequences" for my life choices? Why can you make the choice to require an app to pay for your parking lot depriving me from the ability to pay in cash —affecting my positive freedom of movement—, while I however must calibrate my life choices so they "don't affect" you? Is it because you are a business and I'm a mere citizen?

We are both making choices that fit our own priorities. > Why can you make the choice to require an app to pay for your parking lot depriving me from the ability to pay in cash —affecting my positive freedom of movement—, while I however must calibrate my life choices so they "don't affect" you? We are both making choices. I am choosing not to do business with you on the terms that you find acceptable and you are choosing not to do business with me. Should I also accept pesos in the US because you don't want to exchange your pesos for dollars?

  I see. If it's all choices, would you accept the consequences of me interfering with your business operations as much as legal when you unjustifiably expect me to use a smartphone (holding up the line, making a fuss, refusing to tip, etc)? This may slow down income, put off other potential customers, and result in a more stressful workplace resulting in lower staff morale. It appears to be the only choice I have left... ...or I will simply use the power of the state to defend my ability to live a normal life without needing a smartphone, as I live in a country where the people have chosen that consumer protection can be imposed on businesses by Law.

    Yes, because choosing to use the power of the state to impose your belief system has never had bad consequences...
