Since we've gotten off track with the discussion of cashless transactions, I'll pile on.

When we were in Nashville for the PSU game, my dad left his credit card stuck in the machine at one of Bridgestone vendor booths.  He didn't realize it until we were at a bar later that night.

We walked back over to Bridgestone and were able to find a gate where security would let us in and sent us to a lost and found room.  We told them what had happened, and they guy walked into a back room and came back with a large box that had, at a minimum, 300 debit and credit cards in it.  He said, "these are from tonight, let's have a look."  We found it in there.

Quite a story.  Did he say how many of those were eaten by that or other atm machines in the rink?   Your dad had a successful transaction?

That's why tap-to-pay is better.  Either tapping your card, phone or watch.  The card never leaves your hand, so you never leave it anywhere.

Dad got his hot dog and soda.  I know they were consumed.  No idea how many cards were.

When Robson opened, they announced a cashless experience. My guess is, they weren’t the first and probably won’t be the last. I’d like it if cash were still an option but it isn’t and it isn’t going to change anytime soon. It’s probably more about speed and efficiency for the concession workers to get through the customers standing in line. I do my part to help them by buying my Mike & Ike’s and Lemonheads at Walgreens before the game.
