A KFC outlet in Australia has caused controversy by going completely cashless. A sign outside the store in New South Wales (NSW) states that it will only accept card payments. This move has sparked outrage online from customers who are concerned about the increasing trend of cashless stores. Evan Burrell, a customer, expressed his worries on social media, questioning how long it would be before all shops stopped accepting cash transactions. Burrell mentioned that he had noticed this cashless trend in three other stores on the Central Coast. He believes that all payment options should still be available, considering not everyone is comfortable with card payments. Burrell also highlighted the impact this would have on elderly and disabled individuals who may struggle with card payments. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) states that businesses are legally allowed to choose which payment types they accept. The post on social media attracted criticism from other customers who disagreed with the cashless policy and expressed concerns about government intervention and the tracking of individual transactions. This move by KFC aligns with the broader push by banks in Australia towards digital-only payments. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) recently tripled its fee for business owners depositing cash, and Macquarie Bank plans to cease accepting cash, cheque, and phone payments from 2024.
