Observation over the last several years, but especially in the last 2 - 3 months, in SA.....
Retail customers paying with cash are increasingly being treated as 2nd-class citizens.
I have my own suspicions as to why this is happening.
Just this week a teacher in Ireland had their bank account frozen for declining to use gender pronouns (a case of compelled speech).
Note: It would be very different if the plan was to run a dual system perpetually, which made digital-payments purely opt-in. (The clue is the fact there is a plan to eliminate cash. Free markets deprive control-freaks of the ability to dictate prices and quality. The natural tendency in a free market would be lowest-sustainable prices for the preferred quality)
No, it's only you
