‘No Cash accepted’ - sth you’ll never see in Germany
lol, don’t be too sure. I traveled around Europe a couple decades ago and people would roll their eyes and get irritated if you used a debit/credit. Now paying with your phone or card is ubiquitous and I rarely see cash transactions, the ones mostly using those are the older Hausfrau in the checkout line with the actual cashier and not self-checkout. It’s a very short leap to no-cash in an occasional establishment.
The Germans love their Hartgeld, which is why I think it will never go away completely. But yeah it definitely has gotten more common over the last years.
I’ve never seen this in a bar anywhere.
Its becoming more common because you dont have to count the till, cant have staff skimming, staff dont have to deal with sweaty bra money and its tougher for patrons to keep an idea of how much they have spent.
Everybody wins but the customers.
Well, I’d argue the tax man is the real winner.
Not as much as you think.
If a staff member skims $20 you’re out $20 and the product cost, if they miscount the change by $20 you are out $20 and still owe the taxman. If its all processed correctly the taxman gets $4.
Then theres the time savings of not having to count change or wait for customers to hand over money. If it allows you to serve 110 customers an hour per staff member not 100 in a busy bar you just sold 10% more product. Add in the labor savings of not counting out change, not counting tills, not having to have sufficient change on hand… it really does make sense in a high customer turnover business like a bar.
Is this one of those “No fun allowed” places I hear about?
