They're highly venomous too.

Highly venomous and fast.
Wasn’t Kobe Bryant’ nickname Mamba? Sad he left way to soon. Lotta respect for everything he did on and off court.

Dingos took my baby… said in best Aussie voice

“ I think that’s where it really happened “

The irreverent Aussie in me is howling.

The humanist is mortified.

What a time to be alive

I do not need to know this man

I'm sooo afraid of snakes! Like an irrational fear kind of thing

Like me with bees (getting better) and hornets (nuke the lot of them)

Do any businesses you know refuse to accept cash in person?

Not that I can think of, unless they don’t have change

I don't support businesses that do this. And there's been a growth in business that are adopting this.

As opposed to by proxy?

Why don’t you support them? And why is there a growth, if you know?

Poor dingos! They take ONE baby and all of a sudden they’re the villains. They’ll never live that down. Jeez

Because it's a racist policy. There are lot of BIPOC and other low income folks who do not have credit card or a bank account for one reason or the other. Here's one article about it. Some states are passing legislation that requires businesses to accept cash.

It also ignores people who use cash in order to control their privacy

See, aren't you glad she gave you the tip

Excluding technical issues, ie pos's down but tablets still running credit cards on mobile service, I only know super tiny ones, like glorified home bakers, artists, flea market stands. They don't want to deal with registers and change and they just use their only payment method account statement (ie paypal, venmo etc) as their quarter state sales tax bill and yearly income.

 

[water_moutina]

I've seen the reverse as well but very rare where they don't accept cards

 

[aussiegeekygal]

It's also perpetuated by big banks who charge exorbitant fees to process cash deposits. Those fees trickle down to the businesses who can't afford it without passing some of that cost on to the consumer.

There's no way it costs banks the amount of money they charge in fees to handle the cash. It's a rip off/invisible tax.

I always thought it was more expensive for stores to process credit and debit card transactions and cash was the cheap option. I wonder when it changed.

This one I can understand as credit cards charge the business for it. Some small businesses may feel like they don't have the budget for it.

I'd much rather go to a business that doesn't accept cards, even though is very rare I have cash on me, than to a only credit card business that is inaccessible to a section of my community.

I thought this too. Some places add extra $ if paying with card. I'm guess when you deposit bulk cash then bank you'd ask you to pay extra. Not sure

They get you either way

self checkouts? way cheaper to not have employees. Covid may have played a part, I did see businesses stop handling cash and go to employee touchless methods. basically switching to self checkout, but never had the cash dispensers, again these were mostly mom and pop though. Can't afford the owners getting sick as they are the employees.
