|                                                                                |
| I've been in France for three months now.                                      |
|                                                                                |
| I want to tell a little about it.                                              |
|                                                                                |
| A very well known supermarket here has decided to go cashless.                 |
|                                                                                |
| A group of 50 people got together and agreed that they would all make a big    |
| purchase on the same day. Fill their carts to the brim and have every person   |
| that comes to the till - the human till, not the machines - and have           |
| everything scanned before they all pull out the cash                           |
|                                                                                |
| The staff was absolutely overwhelmed. The management was a complete mess,      |
| everyone was repeating themselves calmly and very organized and polite,        |
| pretending they didn't know anything. No edges, no rudeness, no humiliation.   |
|                                                                                |
| The supermarket has reintroduced cash.                                         |
|                                                                                |
| Petrol stations: fill up and then only pay in cash.                            |
|                                                                                |
| Restaurants: Groups of friends going out for dinner and nobody takes phones or |
| credit cards, only cash...                                                     |
|                                                                                |
| They do it in every single area of France. Just refuse to be there             |
|                                                                                |
| The reason it works is because it is organized in large groups. One person     |
| here and another there doesn't work. It has to be constructed really           |
| carefully. 👏👏                                                                  |
|                                                                                |
