Dominos Australia Trials Going Cashless

Dominos Australia has taken a controversial step in having five of its stores go cashless for pizza pickups in the name of reducing pickup time and queues. Dubbing the new system "tap and take" Dominos hopes that it will reduce waiting times, increase convenience, increase safety and reduce costs involved with handling cash so that they can "remain digitally agile and continue to meet consumer demands". The trial is not winning any points with Libertarians who believe that the government is pushing businesses to crack down on the cash economy with concerns about the government taking a big brother attitude to monitoring business cashflow. While a number of businesses in Australia are cashless, removing the option tends to put customers off with a number of businesses just bearing the loss of profit from customers who prefer to pay with cash.

    You've got no pros in your neighborhood.

    Sure we do. They take cash just like any other business where privacy is a must.

    I never knew that buying somebody else's soon to be trash for pennies on the dollar of the retail price was a high privacy concern.

        Yes, the only Pros out there are golfers. Such a wonderful world we live in that they now come to your own house to help you with your.. shot.. swing.. whatever.
        Brings new meaning to 'let me help you fix your swing'.
