A cashless society?
ThatOtherGuy
Every now and then the topic of getting rid of the one dollar bill comes up. But how about a cashless society, where all financial transactions are done with cards, through cell phones, or some other way? Slowly but surely we're heading in that direction and Sweden seems to be leading the way. I'm just trying to imagine how different clubbing would be without cash in hand. I suppose that a generation or two after the big change, a cashless society will be the norm.

I don't welcome the digital trail and loss of privacy either. Governments, large corporations and wealthy individuals will use the knowledge they gain to control us even more than they do now.
That's how credit card charges show up on my credit card bill from one local club. The club name is no where to be found, but I can imagine trying to explain that charge to a suspicious wife.
I can only imagine an IRS agent sitting outside of a strip club and writing down the license plate numbers of the strippers as they leave, pulling their tax returns, and then auditing them and the club the following week if the strippers didn't file a tax return. Every stripper who I know would be hit with income tax evasion.

canny, lol, but what kind of a douche IRS agent would wait outside the club on assignment - when they could be itc taking more of a proactive hand's on approach....
With regard to my comment which linked an event in Sweden to it's almost certain negative impact on the Euro....Obviously the full thrust of this comment hangs in limbo until Sweden officially adopts the Euro in fact (which they are obliged to do)....
I'm just hoping that pr#ck Juice had an allnighter last night....lol...
I would guestimate that 50% of dancers work for cash because they can't work legally.
Maybe some Canadian posters can comment on this. Canada has one and two dollar coins and the lowest paper money is a five dollar bill. At Canadian clubs to you tip at the stage with loonies and twonies or is the minimimum tip five dollars?
