New World Order-style Government Grocery Stores that only accept EBT, SNAP and eventually, only the Mark of the Beast? /shiny side out
Controlling the masses is best done through starvation - FORCING people into a system where they can only BUY and SELL using approved methods. Cell Phone tied to bank account, credit card, debit card. Cash will be eliminated, IMHO.
It's quite simple to see where the world is heading - shopping and payment systems are evolving towards this.
When these things happen and they WILL happen - it will be the biggest life-changing event on planet Earth - Jesus said then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was

Retail will be forced into installing more secure systems - When the Mark of the Beast comes I expect this kind of shopping to be rather "normal" in society - or will spread very quickly.

Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 20:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
