FAST FOOD RESTAURANT CAN’T ACCEPT CASH. CUSTOMER THOROUGHLY CONFUSED.

There is a reason I still make sure I have cash with me: technology can be fickle. As we have become increasingly dependent on carrying around a debit card to simply scan for items we are purchasing the use of cash has dwindled. I have heard enough horror stories and had my own experience with walking into a business and their card machine is down. A few years ago most of Winona had an outage that you couldn’t use cards anywhere or maybe any type of transaction. So, it’s best to have cash in case you walk into your favorite restaurant and your card is rendered useless. I don’t think I’d ever see a time that the reverse was true. A server is going viral because he said they couldn’t accept cash due to an issue with not being able to give change. Of course the customer took a video of the encounter. I’m sure the young man working the counter was much calmer before things escalated and the video started rolling.
