Not all heroes where capes.

Context? He was only allowed to pay digitally?
Yes. It’s likely an Amazon Go store or a Tesco. There aren’t any cashiers/tills to take cash or make change. You pay via an app tied to an electronic payment method.
Bless this man.
Absolutely insane ppl won’t accept legal tender and somehow this is controversial
shared this on twatter. it is the other way around now 🤌🏻
much respect
A video worth watching. Cash is becoming a deposed king. nostr:nevent1qqsvqrfs0axeerxznfam8905x5y8fcfstgy28u7uyv2u27vpaxcudtspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5un0q7v

Piers Corbyn, this guy has been arrested for several other things in the past that this group would soundly salute and zap. The latest is this event about a month ago, of which he hasn't been arrested for (yet). Paying for strawberries in one of Aldis 'cashless' stores that expect you to do everything through their app.
I mean it's a private business, why do people act like this makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, the new stores like this are cringe.
But surely people should lead by example, now not the old fella but the youth. Work on your own stores, locally sourced produce.
Voluntarism must not die.
The legal situation is as follows: legal tender means that if you owe somebody a debt, they must accept that legal tender to pay that debt. It does not mean that people must accept legal tender for any trade. Terms of trade must be agreed by both parties and may have all kinds of rules in them.
So you can do the trade, somehow fail to pay according the terms of trade. Now you owe them a debt. Now you can pay that debt with legal tender.
Legal minds - please correct me if I'm wrong.
Uhhh, its not a debt because that company would have had to agree to issue a debt, usually with terms and an interest rate. After you get slapped with a fine there is no requirement for the company to accept legal tender from you as repayment, I think.
That's not what I mean by debt. If you violate the terms of trade, you can be sued. That court can then impose damages. Those damages will be in fiat currency, not strawberries, not bitcoin. Those damages will probably be more than the original price though, maybe even a lot more. However, the court may force you to pay in bitcoin or strawberries if they are aware that you hold such. If you claim you don't have any strawberries/bitcoin, then you'll be paying in fiat.
I dunno about debts, I'm pretty sure it's only taxes. But it probably is about debt. The laws are for the banks, to be very clear. The banks effectively collect more taxes than the governments in many places, via collusion with the central banks. Much of the taxes goes to the very same central banks, on top of their inflation.
Not enough of us do shit like this that's why they still fuck us when we do shit like this.. ppl need to grow balls
He showed us the way!
I hope I will not bump into a store with no-cash policy, and I won't have to put myself to a similar ordeal
So far my only card-only experience was a coffee vending machine, it was quite a shock.

Imagine that, a free human being in england.
When you all in to cash and coins. You don't even trush Digital Bank / Cards.. 😅😅😅
Wha
He not wrong. Dystopian af
Lead by example 🫡
He bought those strobe-reez
Careful who you make your heros... "Legal Tender" is a Government scam. Money is Private - this means unregulated, without the need of your local jurisdiction (law) to legalize the voluntary exchange of goods.
Remove Legal Tender rules, and we'll all see the soundest money rise to the top.

Not sure this is as simple as a private business choosing payment types.
I am onboard with the principle of voluntarism but we need to be careful not to "voluntarism or nothing" ourselves into a dystopian hell hole.
