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.

My position is I am bound by laws and regulations passed by the elected civil authority and by contracts that have my written signature on them. I regard eulas and click agreements as a waste of both my time and theirs and I ignore and violate them as convenient to me. I invite any company that thinks different to take me to court. It's loser pays both sides legal costs here.
