If you haven’t seen the tv ad campaign recently there is one I have absolutely grown to despise.<\/p>\n
There is a shopping environment of (campaign various) kinds. Everything is moving happily like clock work. Everyone happily.. nay dotingly swiping their Visa card.<\/p>\n
Then it happens. Horrors. OH MY GOD! someone uses<\/p>\n
(dum duh daaaaaaaaa) Cash!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n
Everything comes to a stop. Smiling cashier units become disdanefully unhappy as they slowly have to count change. Peer pressure, everyone’s happy Camazotzian<\/a> pattern has been disrupted.<\/p>\n The horrible pariah of society (typically dressed in clashing clothes) skulks off while the machine clicks back into sync.<\/p>\n I mean…. does this image terrify anyone else? <\/p>\n Last time I looked… and then again just now-<\/p>\n Every piece of American Currency bears the following words: And despite it having a serial number… it’s basically untraceable and untrackable.<\/p>\n But what gets me is this pressure that in the perfect world… we all use visa and everyone just shops non stop in a rhythmic, utopian clockwork.<\/p>\n It presses just about every button I have and makes me want to switch entirely to cash.<\/p>\n
