The banks want a cashless society: This is why

The other day I paid for a few items with my debit card.

I could have paid cash, but I chose not to.

I was slugged 1.2 per cent for my laziness.

A total of 45 cents.

On the weekend, I bought some new furniture.

I offered cash but was told the shop only accepted card payment.

I had the option of paying a 1.2 per cent fee amounting to $15.62 or go home and sit on the floor.

Can someone explain how or why it costs so much more for a computer to do a transaction for a bigger amount?

When is the Government going to put a stop to this highway robbery?

If the retailer refuses cash, then they should wear this exorbitant theft.

Banks want us to be a cashless society.

Now I know why.
