--copied/translated from German, not mine--

I've been in France for three months now.

I want to tell a little about it.

A very well known supermarket here has decided to go cashless.

A group of 50 people got together and agreed that they would all make a big purchase on the same day. Fill their carts to the brim and have every person that comes to the till - the human till, not the machines - and have everything scanned before they all pull out the cash

The staff was absolutely overwhelmed. The management was a complete mess, everyone was repeating themselves calmly and very organized and polite, pretending they didn't know anything. No edges, no rudeness, no humiliation.

The supermarket has reintroduced cash.

Petrol stations: fill up and then only pay in cash.

Restaurants: Groups of friends going out for dinner and nobody takes phones or credit cards, only cash...

They do it in every single area of France. Just refuse to be there

The reason it works is because it is organized in large groups. One person here and another there doesn't work. It has to be constructed really carefully. 👏👏
