I’ve legit gone back to cash for petty transactions. If I feel like throwing the change in the tip jar, I will. But there are no stupid prompts for a tip to deal with. Unfortunately, a lot of places are going cash free. Professional sports games is one example. Hey beer man, thanks for handling me my $12 beer. No, I’m not tipping for that.
So I understand why so many places like stadiums and airplanes are going cash free, but then I wonder if that’s even technically legal as cash literally says legal tender for all debts public and private.
The only place I ever use cash anymore is to fuel my sporadic video poker habit.
I damn near feel like a criminal using it anywhere else.
And the day you can go throw your debit card into a video poker machine is the day I stop gambling. As ferociously disciplined of a gambler as I am (and I am ferociously disciplined with my budgets) I cannot in any way see that eventuality as ending well for any customer.
Anywho, rambling tangents complete, I wonder if cash will remain viable over the forthcoming years.
Yeah, u definitely can’t budget gambling if they have a card with all your money on it. Maybe they’ll have what arcades have now where you buy a card, and load it with money or something. I also wouldn’t gamble in a cashless society. As it stands right now, you win a few bucks, you just get cash. If it’s all traceable, uncle Sam is going to want a cut of your winnings every time.
