In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.
Bottom line is IMO it certainly isn’t discrimination. Homeless person with enough cash for a bottle of water that only has a cashless option can try to exchange their cash for someone to make the purchase. Now, if they have a hard time finding someone, you could argue that individual people that won’t help are being discriminatory.
“It isn’t that we built a system that specifically punishes and prohibits the poor and homeless. It’s those darned lazy people who won’t jump through the hurdles we installed to help them.”
Get lost. Many social support systems use pre-loaded cards for all kinds of different benefits.

Correct. I won’t. But, that puts the onus on the fellow customers v. business. Isn’t free market ideas grand? BTW: people should never give homeless/beggars any cash. Could be a death sentence when they buy their next fix and OD.

Trolling about what?
True I would not exchange cash for an electronic purchase.
True that cash handouts can lead to drug purchases and subsequent ODs.
How does that equate “troll”?
