I used to be a frequent cash user, preferring it over card payments simply for convenience. I would pay for all my shopping in cash, with my bank account mostly used for transfers and online payments. However, the convenience backfired on me the day I decided to apply for Irish citizenship. I was asked to provide three consecutive months of bank statements showing card payments made within Ireland. To my astonishment, I had no payments at Irish locations because I always found it more convenient to pay with cash. I had to delay the submission of my documents by a few months and start using my card to be able to prove that I had been in Ireland, fulfilling this requirement. Since then, I've gotten used to using my card more, but I've noticed that when I pay with a card, I tend to spend more, lacking the sense of money that comes with physically looking in your wallet and having a better understanding of the amount spent.

I was in 1 of the larger retailers yesterday and was waiting for my turn at the checkout when the guy on the checkout said down the line that it was cash only.
That was fine with me as I was paying cash. Someone behind me though asked if it was just this till.
"No" he replies. None of the tills could take a card payment as the system had crashed.
Got me thinking. How many people there had no cash ?
If in the future we're living in a cashless society what happens when the system crashes like it did yesterday?

Are we there yet ?
