Facebook Credit: NCA NewsWireCamera IconNandos drew the ire of pro-cash advocates after it went cashless. Credit: NCA NewsWireSome in the Facebook community described cashless prioritisation as “financial fascism”, with others adding: “Let’s do this Australia, their killing our farmers”.Both Coles and Woolworths have been targeted by the so-called “Cash is King” community over an increasing prioritisation of automation and cashless payment.The criticism intensified late last year when Woolworths announced it would slash the amount of cash customers would be able to withdraw and would require a purchase.A range of large and small businesses – from banks to amusement parks and restaurant chains – have drawn the ire of the pro-cash community in recent weeks.Portuguese-style chicken store Nando was heavily criticised by the community after a tongue-in-cheek announcement signalling it would soon be going cashless.The decision by Macquarie Bank to go cashless was also met with criticism, with many citing the oft-repeated claim cash has to be accepted because it is legal tender.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2432799157"}
