Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Apparently as a protest against "cashless society" efforts.

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.

true cashless, ie; a moneyless society.

100-com

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.
