Among the many battles quietly raging as digital technology disrupts the retail and hospitality sectors one stands out: physical cash versus digital transactions.
Many businesses are slowly doing away with accepting cash altogether, which has miffed many Australians and given rise to Facebook groups that regularly call for the boycott of such businesses.
The latest casualty in this saga is Ms Peacock Restaurant & Bar in Eynesbury, Victoria.
A week ago the restaurant took to its Facebook page and announced the venue will stop accepting cash from June 24. This sparked furious comments criticising the restaurant’s move with many calling for a complete boycott.
Part of the Eynesbury Quarter operated by Resimax Group, Ms Peacock has been operational for four years.
