Businesses are switching to cashless payment only during the pandemic as people enact social distancing to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This comes after stopping the use of non-disposable cups in cafes and the general reduction of the use of cash across society. This could well be the tipping point to make cashless payments the norm across the world. Some believe it could well be the start of killing off the use of cash for good.

It's not paranoia if you know they are out to get you.

    If it's the same screen that they make you "sign" on when doing a credit card payment, you can use the stylus to tap the buttons on the screen instead of your finger and it should take it.

    With that said, the stylus is likely covered in as many germs as the screen is. But you do have the option of using a glove with the stylus.
