I’ve been in France for three months now. Their approach to this is simply fantastic.<\/p>\n
I’d like to share a bit about it.<\/p>\n
A very well known supermarket here decided to go cashless.<\/p>\n
A group of 50 people got together and agreed that they would all do a big shop on the same day. Piling their trolleys to the brim and each person getting to the checkout – the human check out, not the machines – and having everything scanned before bringing cash out.<\/p>\n
The staff were absolutely overrun. There management in a complete tizz, everyone repeatedly, calmly and in a very organised and polite fashion acting as if they knew nothing. No edges, no rudeness, no humiliation.<\/p>\n
The supermarket reinstated cash.
…..<\/p>\n
Petrol stations : filling up with fuel then only having cash to pay.<\/p>\n
……<\/p>\n
Restaurants : groups of friends going out for dinner and nobody taking phones or credit cards, only cash …<\/p>\n
…..<\/p>\n
They are doing it in every single area of France. Simply refusing to be part of it.<\/p>\n
*** Edit<\/p>\n
The reason it works is because it’s organised in large groups. One person here and another there doesn’t work. It needs to be really carefully constructed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
