Does anyone know whether they published said statement and where?
- Comment on Australian businesses selling essential goods and services to be forced to accept cash payments 2 months ago:
If you have pen and paper and the key to the drawer you don’t need a working POS on the spot to accept cash while comms are out and record the transactions later.
And exactly: where does the cash appear from? That’s the “should always be an option” part.
Of course there’s drawbacks for everything: less secure for staff if you accept cash vs inability to do anything when comms fail if you don’t.
There might be a further point, although I haven’t looked into the reasons: Sweden started the cashless experiment before and they are backpedaling now.
- Comment on Australian businesses selling essential goods and services to be forced to accept cash payments 2 months ago:
I don’t disagree with cashless being the preferred method, but cash should always be an option because e.g. in case of disaster, the infrastructure that cashless depends on can be impaired for a while.
