Here in Mexico we still pay with cash a lot, only a few do with cards, I guess this is why the slow adoption of Bitcoin ๐

Yes, always thought about this bullshit going on. They would not let me pay with a 100 euro note at the super market recently.
What is the name of the guy?
Whaat? Is that pos ONLY shop ????๐คจ does this places exist ??๐ซฃ
Many in UK. But also in other countries. I think I have seen one in Prague as well. The owners do not want to deal with the complications of dealing with security with cash.
Moreover cashiers cannot count anymore...
Italians does not understand bitcoin BUT try to make here a cashless shop ๐ you won't sell much..
Italians hardly understand banking apps ๐
Shit like this is already happening at concerts and basketball game that are held at cashless arenas ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ

The Dutch are the opposite... Cashless everywhere. People are too lazy to use cash
That's harsh but funny
But I donโt get it, you can still pay for things in the UK using pennies? What was the big objection? Calling the police for ยฃ1.90?
The shop was not accepting cash at all.
There isnโt anything nefarious about a business not taking cash. Thereโs additional fees that go into depositing cash into banks, fees for hiring security to collect the cash, storing it and less likely to be robbed. Whereโs that teller gonna put the ยฃ1.90 if the shop doesnโt take cash?
Do you even know what legal tender means?
But assuming that was the only reason, surely it makes more financial sense to take the coins for only ยฃ1.90 than to run it through a bank where they take a cut of what is already on a thin margin?
He is correct, if that particular shitcoin is legal tender then at least you should be allowed to pay in that shitcoin.
Lot of people use btc there?
Context? Why he's not allowed to pay cash?
No not really, but that step should be relative small as paying with phones and smartwatches is normal here.
Because the store does not accept it.
It is the harsh truth unfortunately.
In Netherlands they refused the 100 euro note in a supermarket for fear of taking fake notes, they do not even bother to use a system to spot counterfeit.
This system is completely fucked, what is the sense of having central banks print notes and then having people not accepting them because of fear of counterfeating.
I counsider it as a plus ๐คฃ also receipt is another interesting questions ๐คฃ
I am neutral towards this :)
The British lol! I love their old man protest vids!
he's right. cashless is an outrage.
Legal tender is about a currency being valid and sufficient for the payment of **debts**. It does not apply to spot exchange.
There is no economic, ethical, or legal justification for what he did. He stole strawberries and left an ungratuitous gift in stead. Asshole move.
If the merchant doesn't want dirty coins, then so be it.
Do you? ๐ค๐

The point you are trying to make is the actual issue here. This system is total bullshit. Mandating a currency on people and then leaving elderly who saved in cash unable to adapt is theft. What are they going to do with those shitty (nearly worthless individually) small coins that many of us hate?
Moreover the disgusting paradox is that supermarkets like Tesco price things 1.99 and if you give them 2 pounds they either steal the penny or at best dump on you that worthless crap of 1 penny coins so that in a few years they will refuse to accept it when you try to pay with it.
We know that the central bank considers legal tender a currency that has to be accepted for repayment of debts but the point is exactly this here, why do we have to accept anything that a government tries to impose when the currency they will offer and try to mandate on us is not going to be efficient for us when we will buy a pack of strawberries?
Just because the system is bullshit doesn't give you the right to steal from merchants.
Agreed, these type of people are needed to make a very loud point. If I did something like that I would have to fight the security guard and probably get in trouble, old man + man on a wheelchair is definitely looking non aggressive so they walk away.
