But that was my point exactly. Sure, you can live in Sweden without even knowing how cash looks like so it is cashless in a way. But, if the cash register is not functioning then you are done* with or without cash in your pocket.
* I'd wager that if you know the prices and keep track of what you sell, you'd be fine recording the transactions after the fact.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s illegal to accept payment without offering a receipt with all of the correct info, which among a bunch of things include a unique incrementing receipt number.
> Yes but how does the cashier know what the price is?
My understanding was that it was just payment processing that was affected, not the point of sale systems. The scanners and things probably work fine, and I think they could accept cash payments without issue. It’s just not worth it when almost no customer pays with cash.
