I hope they win and the government needs to figure out how to handle efficiently like businesses.
Exactly. Every big box store can figure out how to handle cash, make them figure it out.
It costs businesses a lot of money to process cash. I’m not referring to a mom and pop store where they can handle the cash as they see fit.
When employees handle cash on various shifts, you need to follow a series of internal controls which are a pain and is expensive.
You do need an armored car (especially in remote areas) because you don’t want the employees transporting cash, even if it is not significant, for their safety, to prevent embezzling and in remote areas, you may not be near a bank. Do you want to pay an employee to make a 2 hour round trip to the bank to deposit cash? No, their purpose is not to handle cash, but to assist visitors to their national park.
You also need 2 employees to transport the cash to where ever they will count, count the cash, make the deposit, record keeping, etc etc etc. Reconcile the bank statement, etc.
Cash has outlived its usefulness in some scenarios and the national parks are a perfect place to not accept cash. It’s cheaper and safer not to and the employees can focus on their job. That is being efficient.
