Cash v credit...

In Wetherspoons this morning, for a bacon sandwich, a mug of tea and dependable wifi. As I made my order I was told “cash only”, because the tills were “stuck” and they couldn’t take card payments. If cash and credit cards had been invented at the same time, I wonder which system would have won favour with the public. With cash the system is never “stuck”. Cash can’t get “hacked”. Cash has no batteries that need recharging. A cashless society? No thanks...
