They are just one internet or electricity outage away from finding out that cash is still king here if they want to continue running their biz.

He should just buy bread from neighbourhood shop the sure can use cash.

 

[bigrooster]

So if one day network down, cannot make payment. Uncle could happily take his business elsewhere which accepts cash.

Over-reliance on cashless payments can be problematic during power outages.
Hence, using cash as backup may be an option to sustain its operations.

Why the uncle got so nicely painted fingernail?

Ya, this bread shop in Jurong Point does not accept cash, the Viet bu working there told me, but her accent strong until I thought they don’t have change, in the end is they don’t accept cash. Weird policy if you ask me.

And they'd still continue to buy cai png, even when the kitchen is on fire... (Real-life example - the 'they' here is me and some of my friends in school)

Sinkies are a very pragmatic bunch.
