> I use cash because it doesn't require batteries

Both very good points. Thank you for speaking up :)



A credit card or debit card doesn’t require batteries either…


Imprint machines are dead; most of my cards don't have raised numbers, possibly none of them have them. Where I live, most of the terminals are either on batteries directly or via a UPS.

If someone is anti-battery, they shouldn't use credit cards here. Although, cash registers are usually on a UPS too.


I meant credit cards don’t require the user to have a charged device.
