Coincidentally, while reading this over my morning coffee earlier, an email reminder came through from my daughter's school, for the Father's Day stall tomorrow.
It got me thinking there must be millions of tiny little use cases for cash, where tap and pay just isn't feasible.
Not sure what the answer is, but I do believe a cash-reduced society should be the ultimate goal.
But privacy is also a concern. I really wish my bank would introduce a tap and pay app, rather than me having to use Google Pay.
There’s voucher systems for school stalls beings used. You buy a $5 voucher through the app and then all the gifts are either $5 or $10 at the stall. Works out cashless and pretty handy.
Yeah, I dunno why our school isn't doing that yet. There's an app where we can place and pay for lunch orders. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to introduce a pre-paid voucher system, to use at these things.
