Contactless card transactions were a stepping stone in my opinion to get the public used to and accepting waving their hand holding their cards as the norm.
We were a cash only business at the start of the scamdemic, some people exhibited
extremely bizarre behaviour.
I had customers refuse point blank to take their change, some insisted we hand sanitised it before they’d take it, others would not take it unless you placed it down on the counter as they didn’t want to take the risk of touching our hands.
I had one customer shout their order from the doorway, when it came to paying they stood a distance away from the counter and lobbed the money at the counter, for their change they then held out a bag at full arm’s length with a bag to drop their change in too.
None of this was normal of course but what do you expect when or government held people hostage for months in their homes and terrorised them. Of course we had customers who saw through the whole charade and said so.
Of course my boss buckled and we got a card machine, which is a pain in the arse slowing the whole process of serving down. We only had two wooden draw tills and all adding up is done in our heads, it’s far quicker than any electronic till this way.
We have some customers now brag how they never carry a single penny when asked if payment is cash or card, these will be the prime candidates that will be at the front of the queue at chipping time.
Ironically though as the cost of living has bitten more people have reverted back to cash to keep track of their spending.
The last 3yrs has outed the stupid who live among us, they made them visible and easy for us to spot and avoid.

The mindless propaganda worked! I remember explaining how you couldn't catch a virus by doing this or that thing and no one believing me!
