Unstaffed tills were supposed to revolutionise shopping. Now, both retailers and customers are bagging many self-checkout kiosks.

      I pay in cash because it helps me visualize how much I spend. Also all the delicious street food takes cash.

        In US most street vendors will take CCs, but I was mostly joking anyway. I don’t use cash, but do what works for you.
