In a cafe, you really can see one of the compelling cases for cashlessness," says
[Dean of UCI Social Sciences] Bill Maurer, director of IMTFI..."It moves people through

and getting them served, moving them down the line to get to the next customer to
increase your quota and your volume--then cashlessness is appealing" ... "Some states
are worried about [going cashless] because you start to set up the conditions for
discrimination against people based on income, based on whether or not they have a
bank account," says Maurer.
