Yeah righto, it’s a bank run and it better be funny as fuck.
Mainstream news are already drawing attention to it so there might be a slim chance that something entertaining will transpire.

“cashless” EFT is annoying and you become highly aware of it whenever it takes a few tries to work
cash is also annoying because you got to lug it around, count it, takes longer to exchange than even a difficult electronic transaction that took a few times to work, and then you get change that is even more annoying to carry despite being worth less. A lot of older people have become accustomed enough to these annoyances for them to become invisible but they are still there.
Both are annoying as fuck though, with “cashless” EFT rapidly over taking cash because the majority consider it to be the less annoying of the two.
to really make life easier though we need the option that isn’t being entertained which is true cashless, ie; a moneyless society.
I’m young and like cash, I don’t give a shit about saving a few seconds when I buy coffee or whatever, if anything the slight slowness makes the interaction better or is neutral, and it takes things like tipping out of the control of the business owner to disable electronically (in addition to not being subject to built-in electronic surveillance and not forcing me to use technologies and do business with companies I prefer to avoid). I’m not against tap-to-pay or anything being an option, just annoyed at the removal of cash as an option.
