Yeah, many places are not taking cash in my area. It's just not safe during the pandemic.Today I learned that there is a coin shortage
Another consequence of the pandemic: a nationwide shortage of coins | CNN
That's because the supply chain that coins usually flow through has been interrupted during the pandemic. Banks and businesses have shuttered or changed the way they operate. And so there are fewer coins reaching the public.
I always have cash on me. It's how I was raised. Always have at least $20 in your pocket for emergencies. Hell I used cash today to buy some paint. Coinage goes into my coin bottle until it's full and then I cash it out.
Yep at the laundromat I go to the coin dispenser has no coins due to banks having none so you have to exchange cash with an attendant who has to give you coins.Today I learned that there is a coin shortage

I can't even remember the last time I carried cash. I keep a quarter for when I go shopping at ALDI and that's about it lol.
Same. Only for haircuts.
Found this out when I went to the grocery store last week and the woman in front of me couldn't pay for her stuff because they were only allowing the use of debit cards or something? And when it got to be my turn, there was a note that said it was due to the coin shortage or something.Today I learned that there is a coin shortage

There's a Chic-fil-A near me that I finally ate at the for the first time last month, and I was kind of amazed at how mediocre it was $4.45 for a tiny ass chicken sandwich that isn't even better than most fast-food chicken sandwiches? Why?
Do you guys not have contactless payment yet?
It was just so bizarre to me but then the post under me kinda helped. But also I barely have cash too lol.
Oh I don't live in the US, I live in Peru. Contactless payment through NFC is still very new here and only one bank has implemented it, and only on Android phones for the time being I believe. Contactless payments here have been popularized through QR codes and POS machines that only require you to put your card on top of the reader. The bodega I go to has a QR code and that's what I've been using during the pandemic, CC when I go to the supermarket or money transfers through apps when those can be used. I work at a bank though, so I know about this stuff because it's part of my daily routine and what I hear from colleagues and read in my emails. The average consumer is probably not aware of all the options they have now.
Yeah the things where you put your card on the reader will work with your phone if your bank let's it. Every bank in the UK pretty much allows contactless through phones so I don't even need to carry a wallet anymore.
The company steered away from the more explicitly anti-LGBT groups after the blow up in 2012.
A) According to another poster, other franchises have similar promotions.
I agree with this.
C) You don't give Chick fil A your change and they get less customers because not everyone has a card to pay with. Therefore, Chick fil A loses money and influence in society and the world becomes a little bit better.
