Contactless came crashing down

Just don't go starving to death on contactless

A couple of months ago air local coffee shop could not take Contactless payments.  So I walked home and got a drink!

Today and I saw on the TV that Tesco, Sainsbury's, Greg's and even McDonald had trouble taking Contactless or card payments.  Idea which walk around with 50 UK pounds in cash on me, which I had not used for years!

Supermarkets could not fill the online shopping orders.  Even without a strike of the delivery drivers!

We have a bill the world about digital currency.  He can come crashing down!  I used to work in IT at Lloyds bank.  And even then it was realized that he is a vital cash payments could always get through.

If suddenly the digital world has crashed, we all starve!  Or little shops have gone into business due to competition from the supermarkets.  Now the supermarkets are became economically unsustainable, because of Amazon!

Online shopping is taking over.  Cash is dying!  E.g. lose your Contactless card, you starve!  So there you can't even catch a bus without Contactless!  And the issue carry a pocketful of currency.  As I do for historical reasons.

We have built a precipice on earth illegal and ice - digital money.  Which is great until and earth quakes comes along, and snaps the ice.

This is server markets terms a technical problem.  I hope they centre around their food carts, to ensure that customers were not dying of thirst and hunger.
