Yes I do think that, both from my own experiences and the quotes from the companies concerned explaining why they made their decisions.

The first one is just theft, but I do see what you mean. It'd make sense that cash transactions result in more tax fraud, but I'm a bit skeptical...

And you think that happens more often, or to a greater financial extent, than people using stolen numbers to make purchases? I'm honestly curious...

Cashier takes payment, gives change, doesn't ring it into the till (or rings through a lower amount) and pockets the cash. Theft and fraud there....

You probably mean something other than the word "fraud", but yeah handling cash increases security costs and requires physical access to your bank...

Yes. Both for businesses and the taxman. For consumers I'm not sure. A hack and an armed robbery are two very different beasts too.

Finally got around to Marco Polo. The Weinstein logo coming up before you can skip the intro does this show no favors. To the point that it kind of...

Do we have research that shows fraud from cash is higher than plastic with it's chargebacks, theft, and hacks?

You may be right. The EC is already drawing up the map for UK's internal border controls.

If the EP play silly buggers then we leave without a deal. You get no money, no citizens rights and lose the Irish protocol. The EP is not going to...

I'm sorry but it is. So long as a business is (A) non-essential and (B) makes clear they are cashless then that should be their right. Cash is a bane...

There are people in society who have limited or no access to banking services necessary for a cashless life, and the city's govt has to consider...

Indeed I was about to mention that LOL but you beat me to it. Great result for us, at the start of the century we had a few good years of knocking...

Last night's FA Cup games should make you happy Rand. Tranmere in a bit of a shock win over Watford, 2-1 AET. They now see Man U in the next...

Not Big Brother but it is bloody stupid and ironically the direct opposite of what many governments are trying to achieve (for what could be better...

Invoking Big Brother is more than a little bit dumb here.

Completely disagree. Geralt works just fine and fits the role of grim stoic warrior quite easily. The show has some comic relief so its not all...

State media figures forcibly pushing their heads even further up their asses in increasingly ludicrous attempts to save Dear Leader: ...

MS Project does cost money, I think $10USD a month if you buy a standalone O365 copy. It's an MS Office product though, so there's a chance that...

No.

Are you seriously talking down the level of outrage and disgust this scandal deserve? The simple fact that racists use this case as a...

Strange that you would agree. It may be so that Royal Assent ends the incertainty about Brexit happening or not. It however does not end the...

Slack is for communication, not project management right? For small tasks I've used excel, which isn't ideal but it works. If you're good with...

My network ground to a complete halt. Got up to producing over 36 rocket parts per minute (so close to 3 minutes per rocket) then I realised ticker...

For the first time in this thread I suspect, we are in agreement.

Brexit's ending. Parliament (both Commons and Lords) has passed the Withdrawal Agreement Implementation Bill and its now going to the Queen for...

For small tasks I would still stick to excel sheet. *cough* ;-) Maybe try out Slack. If you are considering Trello you should probably look at...

It's one heck of a season for Liverpool. :up: Meanwhile Man Utd were booed and jeered by their own fans last night, losing at home 0-2 to Burnley...
