  • If you have pen and paper and the key to the drawer you don’t need a working POS on the spot to accept cash while comms are out and record the transactions later.

    And exactly: where does the cash appear from? That’s the “should always be an option” part.

    Of course there’s drawbacks for everything: less secure for staff if you accept cash vs inability to do anything when comms fail if you don’t.

    There might be a further point, although I haven’t looked into the reasons: Sweden started the cashless experiment before and they are backpedaling now.
