@kensanata Small business owners I know in the UK have said that it's becoming harder and harder to deal with cash as small-town banks close down in the tens every month.
When it's a 20 mile round trip to the bank branch with your cash takings at the end of the day, that's a big expense. So even the smallest traders are installing PayPal and Stripe card readers, the PayPal tax being cheaper than the cost and risk of travelling with big amounts of cash every day.
