Woolies going cashless?

[Grant]

Have never seen Capitec’s card system go down ever. Been with them for 11 years now.

of course would wouldn't have - even if you had.

That feels so like last year

Imagine still saying 2023 when it's 2024

I didn't know you could open an account at the age of 6.

FNB let me.

Saw this image from Twitter.

That's so funny because what happens when the card system is down that happens often at mine. They make you pay cash for all your shopping. Ive seen people have to pay cash thousands. Haha I love it. Disaster They will then have to close for the day.

FNB let me.

not a full account, their youth account probably.
and anyway tymebank lets anybody open an account.

Agree, it will become the underground cyberpunk skelm currency, it is the only way to dodge income tax. You will never see mini bus taxis going cashless.

They’ve started actually.

They’ve started actually.

BS. There is no way in hell a mini bus taxi is gonna go cashless. Show me the proof. Please.

 

[FiestaST]

Yup another vote of proof re: minibus taxi mafias going cashless.

Imagine carrying cash in 2023.

Say that when the card system is down. Imagine that

Yeah good luck refusing legal tender

Quite a few places I've been to the past year or two that don't accept cash. Especially small businesses with a very public face that don't want to deal with carrying large sums of cash around / being a target.

I still pay for my monthly haircut (non Paki barber, local dark tribe) with cash money.

Yeah right good luck to them, they need to get things sorted to be able to go cashless

What exactly is not sorted ? And don't tell me the 'card' system goes down, because that is BS.

How many times in the last 5 years have you walked into WW (or any shop) and your card doesn't work?

I’ve seen pictures on X, several from the EC and I’ve seen ones in Cape Town and many people have attested.

Same. Also with all my years with Capitec I think there was only two or so times where I had issues with internet banking (before the days of the banking app) and the banking app itself. And the issue with the banking app was sorted in like 20 minutes. Was a non event really.

As for going cashless... I fully support it. Less risk for the business in terms of robberies and less risk for customers in terms of muggings.

 

[sensus communis]

Soon you will not be able to shop , if your social credit is not up to scratch

If you have a purple face, they do get suspicious.

Imagine carrying cash in 2023.

I always carry cash, and always pay in cash at a bar.
