As for a cashless society. It’s too easy to swipe (or tap) a card, and easier still to lose track of spending. Anyway, cash has a much better feel than a bit of plastic. Being cashless doesn’t always pay off, pardon the (sort of) pun. There was a glitch in the banking system here a little while ago and all the ATMs and EFTPOS were out of action for several hours. Panic stations, what a to-do. Those people who refuse to carry cash were well and truly you-know-what. The plastic brigade was left in limbo, while those who still used actual money were able to go about their business (and pleasure) as usual. It might not happen often but it does happen.
