I just want to say I invented scan and go. Unfortunately, I didn’t tell anyone. My idea was before cell phones and each cart would have a wireless scanner. You scanned your items as you put them in the cart, then you were charged automatically as you exited the store. I also invented the scan and go propane exchange. I didn’t tell anyone about that one, either. I coulda been rich.
[That’s interesting. I use scan and go at Sam’s and I did not know this. The last couple of times I went when I got to the door they waved me through]

Any place I go to that is cashless I turn right around and go elsewhere.
WEFMart rides again.

I miss 1996 - when we had $500 and $1000 bills
Those were awesome
Then, around 2000 I had come into some money and tried to deposit like $2700-$2900 cash into bank accounts I’d had for at least 16 years - the bank acted liked such idiots - dragging it out, I demanded my cash back
I had clients from where I was a Windows software developer in my SUV - we had just finished lunch - thought I’d hit the bank real quick - it was a larger regional bank - never seen $2900 cash before? Ridiculous. In those days I had $1500-$5000 to $6500 cash in my pocket a few times (1996 that is LOL)
Yes, all legal LOL - those days are long gone for me
I bet they still have the receipt gestapo waiting at the door.
Oh they’ll definitely be at the door
You wouldn’t believe how many people steal, these days
Some do it simply to resell - it’s incredible
I hear it from virtually every store I go to - though it’s rare when I’m going elsewhere besides grocery - Walmart
Yes, a 'gateway' that you pass through on the way out. I didn't look closely the first time we noticed it, but was surprised and pleased that the checker just said 'You're all set' as we approached.
I know there are those who have all kinds of reasons for hating self-checkouts, but my wife and I love 'em. Of course, we go back to the early days of pump-it-yourself gasoline, when it was optional and found it to be a huge convenience and time-saver.
Yeah it’s OK if you’re in a hurry
They’re favorited by thieves though
I think most will disappear
(for the thread)
Democrat Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14067
Should President Trump countermand EO 14067? (done under Resident Democrat Joe Biden)
I would say YES - IMMEDIATELY
[A US government CBDC ( cashless)]
This commercial says it was signed by EO 14067 by Democrat Joe Biden in 2022 - surprisingly, YouTube kept
recommending this and I finally watched it way back
Biden’s EO 14067
This video is actually worth watching the portion I recommend - this ain’t going away
Biden already signed EO 14067 March 9, 2022.
The Digital Dollar will save us! Yeah, That’s the ticket!
(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)
Yes, I recommend watching the first 17 minutes of this video
The Jim Rickards Commercial - Jul 5, 2022
https://youtu.be/fCfzQNhi_ns?t=0
(Google’s YouTube, amazingly, kept popping this up on my recommended playlist on the side - so I finally
watched the beginning of it - ignore the sales pitch and watch the first part I recommended above)
This is ALREADY HAPPENING (December, 2023) - I think it will come to much of the world - BEFORE the Mark of the Beast - COVID-19(84)-style tyranny will make it difficult to even buy food
This woman had a gift card - it would not even let her use her GIFT CARD without FACIAL RECOGNITION
The Mark of the Beast WILL happen.
Very few understand what is coming to this planet.
Probably including this poor woman - who has already experienced the tyranny (in China)
This is December, 2023 - This (and far, far worse) will come to the whole world
China...No Digital ID...Can’t buy food!
TPTB WILL use control over food to control people. Social Credit scores - China-style. It is ALREADY happening in China. This video is from December, 2023:
It won’t matter if someone has $400,000-$500,000 in the bank. It won’t matter if somebody has a job paying $150,000 a year. You WILL submit to the Social Credit Score System and you WILL exhibit and parrot Party Doctrine or you WILL be cast aside and forced to buy food on the streets. Oh, and your finances WILL be tracked with Digital Currency, etc. (for the thread)
China...No Digital ID...Can’t buy food!
(BEST version of this short video - 1:20)

Not in Oklahoma (at least, not yet). If they do go ahead with that idea, they certainly don't need my business. I will cancel my membership that same day. Sam's doesn't really have anything I can't live without anyway.
If Sam’s goes to that, I’m done with them.
Please keep us updated (come back to this thread if you can)
I don’t think there’s any way to avoid it (at a Sam’s Club) in the future.
I think they’ll ALL have it and as fast as they can roll it out.
As we know, it’s not the Mark of the Beast.
But I expect these types of systems will take over at all large retail. How soon? Dunno...
No smart phone? How 1999.
Be that as it may.
But I will tell them why I’m canceling my membership.
I don’t have a smart phone and will not spend that kind of money to own one for a few bucks of savings at the cash register.
I don’t WANT a smartphone. I want something only to call and text. Any computer time I get in is at home.
