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
If it would be 1-3%, I understand, because that's the fee for credit cards. But 10%?? Something is clearly wrong.
I'm not sure that has to do with privacy and more like "help us avoid paying income taxes." No one denies that cash is completely anonymous, but that's not the intent here. This is coming from a huge advocate for privacy, but to me this is a stretch.
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.
Man, OP's comments in here are a ride. And I thought the tankies were bad
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.
