[P.O.E.]

Honestly, I didn't see that coming.

I call BS.

The powers that be want a cashless society and force us to use debit and credit cards.

This is a test to see how they can get people to comply.

What is this thing called cash?

I use credit cards and on the rare condition a store doesn’t take them I used my debit card,

Who uses cash anymore?

I guess a lot of folks are putting their loose change in to a “change jar” like my wife does. Before we moved a couple of years ago, she had close to a dozen 1 quart mason jars full.

[As a result, the Giant supermarkets chain is the newest member of a growing list of retailers limiting cash transactions and/or demanding exact change.

“Due to the national coin shortage, select Giant registers can only accept credit, debit, and electronic payments at this time,” company spokesman Christopher Brand said in response to PennLive questions about coin shortages on Friday. ]

I can testify that a large semi-national convenience store chain in my area (I will not name them publicly or privately at this time), is also advertising they are out of change and are offering to buy any loose change you have (I assume in whole dollar amounts). This has been going for weeks.

The MoTB has not come yet. But it will, in the future. A future that seems not too far off. However, (for the thread lurkers) the MoTB does not occur until 1/2 way through the 7-year tribulation. I do not believe that time period has started, yet.
