    My Dad owned a busines for 40+ years and know how hard it was. However, in his day cards never existed so was only cash anyway. And, allegedly, "pissing off a large section" of customers in this case is not the case. It's only 28 stores.

    Palpitating with anger: Customers express disappointment as famous coffee chain goes cashless

    What? Am I reading that wrongly? You'd rather make store owners lives harder?:unsure: Part of not having cash is the safety of the staff in the store/s. It only needs one loony to come in with a knife or gun and grab the till and run out with the shops takings. Have you owned a store and seen...

    Face value: New technology changes checkout game, but can face privacy hurdles Down Under

    Another good idea, but no good having it in Australia. As can be seen on here, people don't like modern technology and prefer being 10/20 years behind everyone else.:rolleyes: As it says in the article it's only like the face recognition technology they have at an airport.

    Police officer’s ‘heroic’ action saves senior from scammers: ‘He rescued me’

    I didn't even know there was such a thing as a bitcoin ATM. Why would anyone want to use it compared to a proper ATM with proper money in it? How do you spend it in a shop anyway? Do you get told "That'll be 10/20/30 bitcoins please?"🤔 Every time I hear crypto or bitcoin mentioned I still...
