A similar thing happened in France recently. A lot of poorer people got pissed off with the giant hypermarkets banning cash. These people can't afford to buy local so much because of higher prices, so access to hypermarkets is important. Anyway, they organised into a big group of about 100 and all went along one day to the local HM. They packed their caddies full of stuff and queued up, pretending that they didn't know each other. Customer 1 offers to pay in cash and is refused. He acts in horror and surprise, and starts telling everyone else in the queue. They all join in and then everyone walks out leaving 100 caddies full of stuff just sitting there. The HM did an M and allowed cash back in asap.

Oh boy how I enjoy reading your posts. In my selfish way I'm glad and amused you didn't manage to withdraw from Substack successfully. Today's task well accomplished!
