Not that I wish to see unnecessary misleading responses within this thread but I can't help wanting to share the following video that was shared to me this morning via email:

You do realize that the video is a commercial for ATM sales, right?

Cash is on it's death bed. I have a teenager, and she and her friends absolutely loathe having to use cash.

I'm in the planning stages of a new express wash, and am thinking about not even taking cash at the pay stations.

I disagree and we have a hard time convincing many of our customers to use our card readers. Some just won't do it even though they have debit and credit cards with them.

My auto sales are 80% credit. I think cashless car washes could already be viable in certain areas. I'm looking forward to it- I'll spend the better part of the day tomorrow pulling and counting cash.

Last I checked we were at 58% credit in the auto and 28% in the SS bays. I would love all credit because of not having to deal with cash plus the average ticket is higher. It would be great to not have to deal with any coin mechs or bill validators. Although going all credit is definitely forcing some customers to use a method they do not prefer. When your grocery store or gas station does not accept cash then it's time.
