Hua Guofang Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The US is behind many other rich and developing countries in moving to a cashless economy. You can barely operate in China now unless you have a WeChat account. There are debit cards that you can dose up with crypto currencies and use them to pay via EFTPOS (or what ever your POS systems are called). Doing this will protect privacy in that you're not leaving a rich data trail wherever you purchase things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It says right there on the money "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE". I can understand not wanting to handle it as an employer, but I resent the practice of not accepting cash enough that it is a dealbreaker for me. Another way to transfer money from the consumer to the financial industry, right past the folks you are trying to buy something from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Fuck starbucks for sure, but in some places that might be as good as it gets so I'll hit one if I'm traveling. I'm more annoyed by all the places here in NYC that only accept cash. I'm a little obsessed with tracking/categorizing every penny I spend and it fucks up my game. On a side note I used bitcoin for an overstock transaction today for the first time to buy a small table. They proceeded to email me a discrete cash receipt for this once the transaction made it into a block or two. I can in turn use the receipt from money with unknown origins for even more tax cheating savings. Guess who's going to furnish most of my next house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure they all don't accept cash or is that because it's a military one? Seem to recall some state or chain of stores wanted to go cashless but people complained and blocked that, think part of the argument was around it limiting access for poorer people but could be wrong there. I use cash as much as humanly possible. No paper trail, no credit card company tracking what I buy when/where and such. Also Starbucks= expensive poop coffee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASH only if the US/Canada moves the same way as other countries your choices will be severely limited by sticking to cash. Although the US is unique for a couple of reasons, it’s the largest economy and there is a strong culture of suspicion against control and regulation (often for very good reason). In terms of efficiency, it really suits business interests to go cashless and the US market is a fan of efficiency. @misteravenI too am very interested to see how things move with crypto and neither am I a fan of most banks. My novice gut feeling is that they won’t be able to stop a two-tiered economy but that nefarious states will take advantage of that for their own purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Also, nobody has brought this up but most hard core Starbucks fans have an iphone app that they can use to place an order, then pay without ever going to the register. You send in the order on the walk there and boom, it's ready for you with the name spelled right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Between mindset and where I live (not to mention economic situation), I find myself buying much less, especially frivolous purchases like coffee or food on the go. Wife buys Starbucks every once in a while, but far from the 1 - 3 times a day like when we were in nyc. Personally I much rather drink the iced lattes I make at home. Also, I consider my purchases much more than I used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I make my own cold brew using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ATJ6AJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also have a french press that I only use when my mom visits because she likes her coffee hot. If you're not hand grinding your own beans that you organically grew in your back yard with soil you made out of your own compost using a mortar and pestle, well then you're just not really enjoying coffee. @misteraven- I've found that if I don't buy things on Amazon I save a lot more money in between my checks, it's actually quite ridiculous how much you can spend on impulse there. In response to considering purchases a lot more, lately I've been putting things in my cart on Amazon and not buying them for a few days. I'll go back in a few days and decide if it's really something I need/want right now, and if it is I will either buy it then or plan to buy it soon. There are many things that I end up "saving for later". Amazon has created this way of queue'ing up purchases that no other store has done before really. I've actually got a list of shit I want to get in the future. I think that's really an excellent business model if you can get people doing that..... and it's obvious in how much revenue that company makes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
