Austria’s conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer wants the right to use cash enshrined in the constitution, he told Austrian media in remarks published on Friday (4 August), an idea the far-right Freedom Party has been pushing for years.

Then this people that seek privacy can go and shop somewhere that does take cash to maintain it, but if the market shows that they're not the majority they can't expect every shop to cater to them. It's like me expecting all restaurants to go fully veggie because I personally don't eat meat.

More like having a veggie option at every restaurant.

Which most of them do as the market has shown it's worth it. Does the market show enough people want to keep paying cash because it seems to just be nutty conspiracy theorists on twitter moaning about it.

Must be nice living in such a huge city that there are multiple stores for everything. Can't even order online instead, since those shops also don't take cash (obviously).

To be fair, I order most products online anyway and there's a big supermarket round the corner for food. When I do venture into London it's great how much faster it is to use the trains, get a pint, pay for food, etc just tapping my phone on everything.

You never buy anything except food and drink?

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No, as I said I buy most other stuff, bar clothing, online anyway, or theyre digital products to begin with like games.
