Comments on: The Cashless Branch (continued) – Is it possible to be cashless and still make customers happy? http://countingoncurrency.com/wp/2009/10/07/the-cashless-branch-continued-%e2%80%93-is-it-possible-to-be-cashless-and-still-make-customers-happy/ a resource for cash supply chain management professionals Fri, 23 Jul 2010 00:12:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Contrarian http://countingoncurrency.com/wp/2009/10/07/the-cashless-branch-continued-%e2%80%93-is-it-possible-to-be-cashless-and-still-make-customers-happy/comment-page-1/#comment-68 Contrarian Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:14:34 +0000 http://countingoncurrency.com/wp/?p=1420#comment-68 Thought I would drop you a line to point out that there is at least one successful cashless Canadian bank branch that has been doing well for many years -- BMO (University of New Brunswick Campus) in Fredericton, NB. No doubt the success of cashless banking probably hinges on the issue of acceptance and early adoption of new technology. And, it's usually the hip younger folks who are keen to use such things as solar-powered light sabres, anti-gravity spandex body suits, or robotic vacuum cleaners, (while the rest of us humble folk fumble around in the dark, wear formless-fitting togas, or rejoice about the fact that carpet sweepers don't come with two-inch thick operating manuals). Of course that begs the next question, when can I use my cell phone as a debit card and, more importantly, when will it give me directions for the fastest route to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe not to mention allow me to "function as a coherent consciousness in an epistemologically ambiguous physical universe"?
