Abundance of guns and crime so no surprises. US is one place I would use cashless. They actually have palm print scanning in some places. You just register your palm print.It’s happening boys and girls, I am currently travelling across the corn fields of the USA, and even in the rural USA the hotel I checked into in a town known as the corn milling centre of the USA has gone Cashless.
Even tips to the cleaners are now digital, you scan a QR code in your room and pay your tip.

At least with digital transactions you have evidence and a paper trail.
i wouldn’t say most, but it would still result in the same situations eg “comeback later once the manager has counted the till and reviewed the footage”Most places have CTV these days, everything is recorded even cash till balances.

@JohnDe Hmmm I going to have to think about this one for a while.And then watch the banks compete for profits by increasing the fees on small transactions while decreasing the fees for larger transactions. Which consumers will benefit?
Ah OK, an anecdote from years past.Most staff won’t have access to that, since it’s there to watch them too, so you would still likely have to wait.

I have no doubt the problem would be solved, I just saying it wouldn’t be solved any quicker than the digital transaction problem would be, both cash and digital transactions have potential issues that might arise.Ah OK, an anecdote from years past.
Nowadays with in store cameras the issue would be solved within a few hours, with a lawyer on board, or social media exposure.
