Reply to comment by baofa13 in Amazon to close eight Go convenience stores in cost-cutting move by geoxol

People will take anything not bolted down. And then they come back with bolt cutters.

Not if they can’t get in without being identified and tied to a credit card. That’s the beauty of amazons tech

I thought NYC had a ‘must accept cash’ law passed not too long ago? How would this circumvent that? Or am I mistaken?

Well, their logic was illegal immigrants and disppropriation amount of poorer people and minorities are non or under banked and therefore rely on cash

Indeed. I am homeless and a good chunk of my income is in cash (yes income, I work). I cannot describe how frustrating it is being mad hungry and being a vegetarian and not being able to buy my damn burrito bowl at chipotle. It also caused problems when Manhattan Mini switched to not accepting cash. It made paying my bill a circus to get money onto a card to pay and was part of the reason I closed my unit last month. So even though it's law, some folks still don't all oblige.
