Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Monday, 17-Mar-2025 02:19:08 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May
The (forced) disappearance of cash continues, but I wonder what would happen if you turn up at a card only premises, eat their food & then only offer cash?
They will say card only, but you are offering legal tender;
They might say you have consumed food without the means to pay, but you have the legal means to pay.
Would they call the police & how would this be litigated I wonder?
Just needs a group to organise this sort of action, and we might find out?
