Love this, Amazon Fresh, Sainsurys and Tesco all have similar stores in london like this.

Its necessary because all the immigrants just shop lift and don't care.

Shouldn't be permitted to do this.
So shouldn't be allowed to even open for me if they insisted on doing it.
Especially when stocking and selling essentials like food.

We are seeing more and more cashless shops and that's because we are going to become a cashless society sometime very soon.
I can't believe how many people are being compliant... even happy about this. I mean, I wouldn't care if we could still bank with national banks and have debit/credit cards but the agenda is, we won't have those either.

Cash is untraceable. Nobody can put you on a mass surveillance system with cash. Not allowing cash is discriminatory and so I absolutely will not conform.

This video is nine months old. We are much closer to CBDC's than we were when this video was made.

This sort of thing hurts the poor more than anyone else. It's those with not much money who mostly rely on cash, especially homeless people. People who shop at Aldi aren't really the target audience lol.

I agree, but in large parts of the UK, homeless people are being given a QR code so that cashless givers can scan with their phones to transfer money.
Even small kids are being encouraged to carry pre-paid debit cards. Some schools will only accept money transfers or pre-paid debit cards for school dinners.
As for the elderly, I don't know how they are going to manage.
