Note "most of the card payments in the UK are by Visa".

Might make a few people have second thoughts about forcing cash-free on everyone...

wont help the idiots who pay for everything with a card, one power cut and they'll all be running around like headless chickens!!"

 

[DrHenley]

Hmmm...

Do shop owners who are preppers keep one of these on hand?

 

[lonewolf]

nope, all the tills are electric and so are the card readers, power goes off and its mayhem for the poor little dears.
"shop owners who are preppers"?? in the UK???

It won't change people at all. All my friends think this is just a funny inconvenience for a few hours and they can't wait for the days of a cashless society. One day the government will just turn the tap off and watch the world burn from their ivory towers.

 

[lonewolf]

your friends cant wait for a cashless society, but wait until they cant use their cards and they'll wish they had cash again, or maybe we'll just go back to barter.

Barter...or gold.

Just try to find a clerk that actually operate one of these things. There isn't any pictures on the keys.

Only need to know one button. Drawer open.

All the other buttons are so the shop owner can tell if you are screwing up, and calculating tax for The Crown.
