This has nothing to do with cashless society, it's because they don't want to pay their taxes.

You would not believe how many cash payments in the end customer food and service industry never make it to the books.

What's next? "Save the Planet! Save Paper! Get 5% off if you don't need an invoice!"

lol that’s a tax evader, they save 20% and you save 10%, it’s the good old Italian tradition of “you don’t really need a receipt do you”

Someone doesn't want to pay fees or taxes. Privacy is just a convenient excuse

I really don't like cash.

It's just too vulnerable to theft and robbery.

I think Monero is better than cash. Would love to see that get more use in these kind of settings.

If it would be 1-3%, I understand, because that's the fee for credit cards. But 10%?? Something is clearly wrong.

I was wondering... how much does a credit company know if I pay with my cc? Do they know every detail of my lunch menu? If so, that does have something to do with privacy, I'm not very comfortable. If they just know the total amount I pay, then I wouldn't mind too much, though.

I agree with the idea and I don't have this reaction else where but when I see the cash only signs in food places it just makes me jump to tax evasion. Don't know why it's only food places that give me that feeling.

He's one of the rare cases where this picture fits perfectly.

It seems that crypto bros have begun to raid lemmy recently, and for raid i mean that yhey just have been coming in big quantities, since the other day i was talking bad about crypto and got downvoted a lot, which is weird since i thought most people here didnt like it since the fiasco of past 3 years on crypto and blockchain, and i got a lot of comments deffending it too.

This would be illegal some places.
