concessions also going cashless

[Chip]

What is cash?

I'm not even positive of my pin number anymore.

No biggie, I seldom have cash anymore. Welcome to 2021 . Have my tickets on wallet, do miss having actual ticket. For instance the laminated Clemson stub( 2017 )looks good hanging from your SU flag in your man cave.

CASHLESS IS LIKE APPLE PAY, SAMSUNG PAY, GOOGLE PAY ETC OR USE A CREDIT CARD

Thanks for the caps, I really understood it better

Easy to forget the PIN when you go to the cash machine twice a year!

The article says you can use Google pay apple pay etc so that means that have the devices you just get it close to. No need to take out the wallet.

Yep I use the credit union at work. I haven't gotten cash since they closed the office and sent everyone home in March 2020

it was unintentional i promise

because most sport venues have already been cashless for years and most people dont usually carry cash if they can avoid too

interesting because i have not been to one that was cashless, but then again havent been to one since march of 2020 either. our golf course went cashless. they hate it but being forced down that road my sr management and cant wait until they can go back to cash. played probably 25 other courses in the last 2 yrs though and cash is still a thing.

also means you have to set those up. again its not that they are not useful ways to deal with payment but forcing people to use apps they dont really use much isnt really what a customer service fan friendly place should be doing..

Am I the only one that has a problem with this? I didn't have my credit card until I was 25. There is a contingent of people who won't go because of this. All of those options have to be linked to a bank account or credit card. Not everyone has one. On top of that, I'd like to know the legality of something like this. Seriously..."this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private". I don't like just handing my credit card over to my kids but they are 13 and 17 and perfectly capable of taking a $10 bill to go get a soda and popcorn. Now I have to get up every time they want to buy something? Bad call SU and likely to make a dent in your concession/merch sales.

It’s not a safety thing and it’s definitely just to align with where things are going. New building we’re going cashless/paperless pre pandemic. It is more efficient and cleaner book-keeping wise. Some may hold off from buying (for now) but the average people spend via card vs cash is much higher so my guess is that at least balances.

the national coin shortage going around the country makes cashless a no brainer at this point

I still don't understand where all the coins went. Are people hiding them in their backyards?

most banks force you to roll your coins so a bunch are probably sitting in jars at homes

i guess i assumed most people used it already. Bad assumption on my part. I love using the mobile wallets to pay for stuff. very easy.

Mobile tickets, dark mode, and now this. FML

 

[All4SU]

I use cash frequently.

I have about $10,000 in nickels in the closet.

So much for those 28 Canadian pennies you were going to get rid of.

BTW, with Covid I bet less Canadian coinage is floating around the North Country.

 

[TexanMark]

If done right...cashless will speed up the lines

 

[Cusefan69]

No problem with going cashless grand scheme...do it somewhat today. The messaging could have been a bit earlier. Go out and get a prepaid Visa for $100 bucks and your covered for the season. No need to give any of your personal information if that's not your thing.

The art of sticking your cash out while standing at the bar to get your next beer must not be lost.

You're doing a great job with this joke.

I will give it a like every time.

This leads me to my first world problem pet peeve…why is it credit card device makers can’t reach a universal color scheme for credit and debit purchases?

what color do I press for credit? It should be the same for all by now,….but nooooooo.

I mean everyone just choose the same color! Red green or yellow?!?!

Okay, rant over.
