NPS going cashless

[displacedtexan]

Sometimes it’s just nice to have everything in one place.

Paying a little for convenience is frequently worth it.

As someone who pays for a lot of stuff with cash...

It's logistically a lot more work for the vendor.

I'm annoyed when places are cashless, but I understand why.

I was told they don't keep any cash on hand. No cash, no robbery. I went not a hospital back east and wanted to pay the bill with cash and have insurance reimburse me. They would not take cash, so they just sent statement to insurance. WTF, this is still America, or am I wrong.

Pay with CC, pay off CC, send bill to ins. co. Use the points to pay for flights hotels etc

Just the slow roll to a cashless society where they have full control.

May be true, but locally many retailers now give two prices, cash or card. Locally it doesn’t look like cash is going anywhere.

Its all about control and knowing everything you do or buy.

I think the phones listen to us.
Uncanny how adds pop up on my laptop after talking about them.

Just got back from a cruise and the national parks visitor centers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands took greenbacks.

I can tell you that 100% that is happening.

I busted a track off.


Was on the phone complaining to a buddy about it and got a call from a track supply company.

Is there anything a government entity can do that we won’t complain about?

I can think of a couple that if they abolished themselves, I wouldn’t complain.

§5103. Legal tender​

United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.

The keyword is debts. Not sure how it works for a government entity, but private businesses are not required to allow you to incur a debt. Hence their ability refuse cash. Not a lawyer, but that's how I've seen it explained.

They can get much smaller and less intrusive. That, I would not complain about.

I wouldn't complain if they invested a satchel of Richards.

If the business has employees taking the money they prefer cashless cause the accounting is easier and no employee theft. If the business has the owners taking the money they'll often encourage cash cause then they can not declare the income and avoid taxes
