Is Cash On Its Way Out?

[Indeependent]

Computers are already taking over checkouts, is basic cash next?

Yes.
The Fed has been working on this for months.

I use the self-checkout if I only have a few items. Love it!

It's good for customers, not really for the employees. Of course, that means that you have scan everything yourself too.

What about the employees of the companies that make and service the self checkout machines?

Basic cash? I have $9.00 in my pocket. Is that basic?

 

[Road Runner]

What about the employees of the companies that make and service the self checkout machines?

Well, obviously they still have their jobs.

I guess that's good if you want to get some candy bars or something.

What is "basic cash?" You wrote it.

 

[Road Runner]

What is "basic cash?" You wrote it.

Like regular money not the kind you have on a credit or debit card.

 

[okfine]

Like regular money not the kind you have on a credit or debit card.

Cash is cash isn't it?

 

[Mr Natural]

Once you buy something with cash, the money’s gone.

But if you put the purchase on a card and you drop dead the next day, you essentially got the item for free.

Well not if I have anything to say about it. Big brother in every corner. That sad thing is I don't think it matters anymore I suspect we have all ready received the mark if the beast in our cell phones. Think they don't know where you are and what you are doing? Think again. That cell phone of yours is telling the data scrubbers everything.

 

[Road Runner]

Cash is cash isn't it?

No, there's different kinds of it.

But if you put the purchase on a card and you drop dead the next day, you essentially got the item for free.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be around to enjoy it then.

 

[okfine]

No, there's different kinds of it.





Yeah, but you wouldn't be around to enjoy it then.

You are wrong and clueless.

 

[Road Runner]

You are wrong and clueless.

You're the one to talk, why don't you go and use your nine dollars and buy yourself a clue?

 

[okfine]

You're the one to talk, why don't you go and use your nine dollars and buy yourself a clue?

Yes I am the one to talk. Cash and coin are physical objects and useable upon demand. Credit/debit are somewhat the same except when the account has insufficient funds rendering it useless. So basic. Get it now?

Exactly. Somewhat the same is not exactly the same.

 

[okfine]

Exactly. Somewhat the same is not exactly the same.

So again, what is "basic cash?"

 

[Road Runner]

So again, what is "basic cash?"

I'm not repeating myself just because you don't have a basic brain.

 

[Mr Natural]

So again, what is "basic cash?"

The green pieces of paper with the pictures of the presidents on them that fold up and keep in your wallet.

 

[okfine]

Total fail as expected. Hah Ha Ha!
