How about those small business like those cigarette vendor's and others, can they avail that machine with surely high cost? Im from Philippines and I cant vision a cashless society in this country maybe in other rich country this could easily happen but for PH now it is too impossible.
The idea of a cashless society is great and will surely provide convenience to many, but I truly agree with what you said. There are a lot of factors that would have to be considered before implementing this change. Even a rich country for sure would have a hard time transitioning with this kind of society.
