So if there's a blackout most places to spend money would be shut.

Every Post Office in the country can be used to access most bank accounts. It is not difficult at all, people just do not like change.

Several hours, oh no, world ending. FFS, have some patience, you won't starve in hours.

Doors are CLOSED normally, they open to allow people in/out. There are always manual fallback options for doors. Geezzz, use some common sense.

NO, no one is trying to take cash away. The story is saying PEOPLE are not using cash as much, TRUE.

WRONG AGAIN - The government froze the accounts of a few people who were controlling the protests which had closed down the city. Ratbag drivers who for over a month stopped all movement, so yes they had their accounts frozen, the ones that were known about. I guess you're happy to have, say...

Okay, when did the WEF say they want to control you? Give me a link to that?

But they are NOT losing business, wake up, it's happening and has been happening for 40 years

Exactly

If there's no power they can't open the register, they will close the shop, and be honest, how often does the power go out for days. You'll live if you can't get your boose for a few hours.

WRONG, AGAIN. Banks close ATMs because of declining use, they don't close them if being used. I know of some in busy shopping centres where they have upgraded the bank branch and added ATMs. How dumb are you, don't know, but as a person who worked in a bank and knows senior management still...

How will you survive without your milk for a few hours OMG you people think the world is ending

I call BS on that, 2 hours, $10k, that's $83 dollars every single minute. They wouldn't have that in total sales, let alone just cash.

Happen often? Rubbish, they happen occasionally, I can't remember a time when I couldn't use my card. Power outages are more common, and you're not buying anything as the shop will be closed, the service station bowser won't work, etc. If we did go cashless, and I don't believe that will happen...

Another nutcase, paranoid about the world.

Sydney's Northern Beaches have these signs.

There is absolutely more to this story. Banks do not just close accounts like this AND they wouldn't phone to tell you. If it did happen a letter would be sent to the file address. Stories like this should be checked thoroughly first before publishing, just frightens people thinking the bank is...

Yeah, and the government is so interested in your spending. Bruce goes to Coles weekly to buy groceries, monthly for his meds from the chemist, wow that's interesting. Stupid, paranoid thinking.

They are refusing cash because of security concerns, taking money to the bank, being robbed, the time it takes to account for the cash, the time it takes to go to the bank, etc, etc. If you had ever run a business you'd know that electronic transactions are FAR BETTER, accounting is often a...

Exactly, people do not get it. Cash lost/stolen is gone forever, a false charge on your account will be refunded.
