I've had a bit of an overwheming day, regarding the cashless society being forced upon us. Nothing spectacular, or dramatic - infact it was quite subtle.
First incident was when a bus driver wanted to look at my card. I don't have a card, I paid by cash, for a paper ticket. He just assumed that I had a bus card!
Second incident was when I was purchasing a dvd from a well known High Street store. I went to the cash desk, and handed the cashier a £10 note. He looked a little taken aback, because he had pushed the card machine in front of me, expecting me to pay by card.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but not all of us want to live in a cashless society. Some of us would like to be given the choice of paying by cash or card.
