It's pretty obvious when you meet someone who's never worked retail.

It's pretty obvious when you meet someone who's never worked retail.
- effluvium 3y agoApparently not because you just got that wrong bucko. The store that I worked at liked earning money. We didn't turn customers away because they wanted to pay in cash.
- Yeul 3y agoReally? There are plenty of digital payment only stores in my country.
- walterbell 3y agoSome US cities mandate cash acceptance by law, e.g. San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York City.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoThere is also a pending US federal lawsuit which attempts to require that all federal lands [e.g. NPS] requiring paid admission to accept cash for entry. I think this will help establish "cash allowed" precedent. I don't even use email, so this will be really helpful (since you cannot receive the entry pass without email and CC).
- 1oooqooq 3y agoi expect the opposite soon. want anything from federal gov? you better have a id.me account with a verified secure device owned by google or apple, or else.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoDo they validate that email? Strange to come across someone with no email address, not even an anonymous one.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI don't believe they directly "validate" that email, but they do send the admission pass there. So without providing the email address [it won't even process the CC transaction] you wouldn't be able to receive a printout of the permitted entry [again, presuming it would still transact without providing email]. >no email address I only use temporary burners, nothing longer-term storage than ten minutes. At a chancery court action about a year ago, judge made me sign a statement attesting to not using email.
- lrvick 3y agoI worked retail for years and I still insist on using cash everywhere. What's your point? Most of the time the card people go to the automated check-outs and I have to flag down an actual human to pay cash which helps keep them employed
