Hilarious because there are so many more important things to grind teeth over than how people spend.  I'm immune to this conversation.

agreed.  My brother in law pays for everything with his apple watch, including when we go out for dinner, which he thinks is really cool, I just laugh and call him a nerd.  I haul out a CC or pay with cash.  No one cares either way.

Who in the actual **** has physical cash on them and why are you so old? (Waits for Al to come in with an off the wall rant about how things are done in Alberta or MB back in 1971)

I love that I play bongo drums in your head. You just can't get me out of your mind as you always like to talk about me. I don't care if its cashless at Jets games. It's already cashless at CFL games. I haven't carried any money in my wallet or change in my pocket in years. I use either my credit or debit card. I could use my phone but I choose not to. My choice.

The only concern I have with a cashless society is for people with financial difficulties. That would be bankruptcies or consumer debt repayment agreements. They all involve giving up your credit cards if you're a part of these solutions. It used to be that you could go to your bank & buy a smart card where you could refill it through your bank account. Some had limits up to $10,000.

You could use these cards like a credit card. Book a flight, rent a car, pay for a hotel on a vacation, shop, use it for filling up your vehicle, etc. However, most banks have discontinued them. Not profitable enough, I guess.

At a time, where consumer debt is at an all time high along with high unemployment rates instead of having more of these bank cards, the banks are getting rid of them. How can people with financial difficulties get by without a credit card in a cashless society? My bank used to have them. As of last February they were discontinued. These smart cards filled a role & had a purpose for a lot of people. I can't imagine how anyone  can get by with no credit or smart cards. I think that will become a real problem as we move towards a totally cashless society.

How do you get cash? Where does it come from?

I can use my Scotia Debit card like a credit card.
