People spend so much more digitally. I see it all the time.
Cash gives you the feeling of losing something whereas digital doesn't. They'll be able to track data more easily as well if it is all digital.

Beancounters have already done the math on what percentage of sales is cash, and have shown that it's statistically irrelevant and/or expected to be so, or this would never even be proposed.The top management are complete fucking morons. The "innovations" they decide to implement will objectively improve some statistic, and I'm sure going cashless will do the same. But the statistics they focus on improving have been shown time and time again to be significantly less important than what they sacrifice instead. Every decision made has caused severe damage to the Taco Bell brand, and hurt profits too. Whenever we see some recovery in brand value (or pure revenue) it's a result of undoing some of those decisions. And it's not a Classic Coke situation where in the long run it made up for the initial losses. Point is, this is going to hurt them. The downsides will oppressively outweigh the benefits, and that's clear to anyone that's not hung up on a soulless perspective of data analysis. Unless "eventually" means by 2050 and no more than 3ish percent of stores will go digital only within the next 5 years. Like at turnpike rest stops or other locations that get next to zero foot traffic. Give it another 10 years for stores in cities and regions where Apple Pay and shit is most popular to join too. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

Fastfood has priced itself out of the "low income" market anyway.Not really. Just because 2 McDoubles are $4.49 now instead of $1.98 doesn't mean it's harder to buy. Outside of trash rural areas, wages are way the fuck up. In the vast, vast majority of the country the demographics that made minimum wage in 2010 are making $15 an hour now. Part time children usually make at least $11. The prices are up, even adjusted, but it's not anywhere close to as significant as you're pretending. hockeybub89 posted...

The Taco Bell near me already basically ignores you if you go to the counter. It'll take 10+ minutes just to have someone greet you, though they are polite about it.
I worked a month at a Starbucks that was 80% drive-through. Having to get customers at the register just absolutely sucked for productivity. It basically stretches 1 person doing 2 jobs into 1 person doing 4 jobs. Yeah, that's corporate's fault, but it still sucked. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!
