🔴 💳 #Anonymous #payment #card
@rose
💬 Something like a #universal #gift #card
🔴 PRIVACY / BANK TRACKING
@dangoodin
💬 The tracking of your hourly whereabouts, your purchases and your contacts seems like a high price to me. YMMV.
🔴 💸 RISK OF CASH
@iagox86
💬 ... I imagine the risk of robbery balances is higher than the transaction cost (at least in their mind).
🔴 💸 NO NEED PROTECTION FOR SMALL ITEMS
@femme_mal
💬 I don't need the protections a card offers on purchases of fresh vegetables at the local farm market but the purchase of hard goods like a new refrigerator certainly merits them.
🔴 💳 Card Convenience
@jawnsy
💬 Convenience is why SCADA systems are accessible on the Internet 🫣
🔴 💳 + 💸 Cash and Card
@lxskllr
💬 I'm cash everywhere aside from online purchases.
🔴 Loyalty Card = Tracking
@lauren
💬 Given the widespread use of loyalty cards to get the best prices, even paying with cash doesn't stop tracking.
🔴 Marketing should be illegal?
@kmstrube81
💬 I wonder if computers were a mistake and if marketing should be illegal.
🔴 TRUST #BIGTECH?
@lpar
💬 I trust Apple more than I trust random merchants, though. I wouldn't trust Google, since they're an advertising company.
🔴 SMALL BUSINESS SAME AS BIG BUSINESS (just smaller scale?)
@aapis / https://mastodon.world/@aapis/113844878648939499
💬 uh yes, duh? This hypothetical woman is trying to profit, yes? She’s trying to make her #business a success, yes? So are the Starbucks execs, the only difference is scale. If this woman had the power and #capital available to Starbucks, what would be different about her stores? #Capitalism
🔴 CAN'T TRUST GOVERNMENT
@dangoodin
💬 ... the #government in my country is 100% dysfunctional ...
Self remedies are the best sort of remedies. #DIY
... Expecting #governments to provide all the answers is also a losing battle. https://infosec.exchange/@dangoodin/113845620795365821
🔴 GOVERNMENTS FOR THE LONG-TERM WAY
@wavefunction
💬 Governments are the only means we have to actually "win" the battle. If it's you versus a corporation, you're already losing. They will always have more power and resources than an individual and will always spend more #money than you to make it their way.
🔴 RISK AS AN EXCUSE?
@dangoodin
💬 The people complaining about having cash stolen are usually the same ones carrying an $800 phone in their pocket.
🔴 #CASH NEEDED #LEGAL PROTECTION
@shansterable@c.im
💬 In 2023, the King County council in #Washington state voted to require #retail businesses to accept cash because it was becoming such an issue.
🔴 LESS TAXES
@tyn
💬 defund the #state!
🔴 GIFT CERT / CARD @epicdemiologist
💬 large gift #certificate (via #check)
🔴 CASH COST TIME / ACCOUNTING AFTER
@jarek@mastodon.online
💬 Handling cash costs money too... Accounting... translates to employee #time... I think your local #merchant is naive.
+
💬 ...(costs of processing cash, costs of #bookkeeping, ease with which cash can be skimmed off by employees, risk of robbery, etc). @thomasareed
🔴 SMALL CONSIDERATIONS HARD TO COUNT
@bluGill
💬 It is hard to figure out what the real cost of cash is as so many of those things seem like little and so you don't count.
🔴 Tipping considerations...
@thomasareed
💬 #tipping a lot more personal, private, and potentially more deliberate.
🔴 CASH FOR THOSE WITH NO BANK 🏦
💬 ...businesses that don't accept cash are being #discriminatory against people who don't have access to banks accounts, such as homeless, extreme low income, or newcomers to our country. It's a way of "keeping the riffraff out" their businesses. #discrimination
@OhOkKay
🔴 MONERO ALTERNATIVE 
💬 even #Monero would be less expensive than #CreditCards!
@kkarhan
🔴 CASH RECEIPTS 📋
💬 A lot of restaurants in #Germany won’t produce a receipt if you pay in cash.
