It's dumb when all the debit machines are down or a store is having connection problems and my card no longer works. I heard that there were no beer vendors in the stands at McMahon stadium for the first two Stamps home games because they were having difficulties with all their terminals. That's dumb and they probably lost out on a bunch of money. I feel bad for elderly and impoverished people who don't want or qualify for a credit card.

This comes across as a little change resistant, doesn't it?
I for one love change like this. Make it easier for me. I don't want front pockets full of loonies and twoonies from every beer or hotdog trip I make.
Happy to have blue tooth in my car, and a thermostat I can change from 300 km away in my house, online banking and banking apps on my phone that don't mean I have to stand in line at the bank.
Going cashless was pretty inevitable.
Do you miss Blockbuster?
