I went to buy groceries today and wanted to pay cash. Owner said sorry card only. So I left my shit on his counter and went next door. How is covid-19 the only virus that contaminates cash? Are people that dumb?
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...o-paper-and-canned-goods-20200409-p54ikg.html I'm not the only one. Australians did not just hoard loo paper and tinned tomatoes as the coronavirus pandemic spread through the country last month - they started stockpiling cash. The Reserve Bank of Australia, in its six-monthly review of the health of the financial system released on Thursday, noted some extraordinary behaviour by people at the nation's banks. Australians responded to the coronavirus pandemic by hoarding loo paper, tinned tomatoes and cash. As occurred during the depths of the global financial crisis, people raced into their banks to withdraw cash. Some people with large balances withdrew huge sums of money. "This included a small number of customers making very large withdrawals (more than $100,000 and in some cases into the millions of dollars)," the RBA noted.
I havent kept anything in my account since 08 or 09 unless I need to order something. In that case I usually buy a money order and send it snail mail. My boss has switched us to direct deposit which is a real pain in the butt. Now I have to go to the bank during business hours to withdraw my pay and it's going to cost the boss time I could be working. Hes always paid paper checks up until now and I could go cash it at Walmart any time and it was super easy since they are open late. Traveling Colorado doing road work, we arent ever able to get to the bank during the work season since we work dawn till dusk and hundreds of miles away. Before I leave town on Mondays I will need to withdraw my cash during bank hours since the atm machine has a low limit. He thinks it's easier but doesnt matter to me. I'll be on the clock waiting for the bank to open so it's cool to me.

When the everyday, or savings account, has a compulsory $20 a month account keeping fee, and next to little interest, a cashless society should be dandy.

The world has gone completely retarded with this. When they really start suffering the only advice I will give is a good chuckle.
This notice went up at my bank Thursday night, I initially didn’t think much of it since it being the long weekend, I just assumed it meant closed Friday and Monday. Ive realized now however that it’s closed until further notice, the other nearby branches just have their regular closed on public holiday notices but not a temp branch closure notice. Could well be thanks to the virus, who knows. Thought it was odd.
Bank run, its fiat there's plenty more where that came from. We will be restocking over the weekend and can print what ever your needs are. Enjoy the Easter break.
^^ could be visited by a confirmed covid 19 or the staff had confirmed covid 19 they need to clean up, and check everyone before re-open or just due to slow low customer walk in
