Do people really complain about playing as a lesbian? That’s like double the tits.
I did hear whining about having to play as a trans character though, despite the fact that you don’t. I can only imagine those people never played it and were just “hur dur big arms = man”.
Yeah, there’s a definite Commodore 64 aesthetic to it, but it feels like every pixel is meaningful. It’s all just detailed enough to be able to tell what’s going on.
We had a card surcharge ban bought in a few years back. The shops aren’t allowed to charge extra, and unless you’re employing family members or not declaring the cash (and for a lot of small takeaways, it’s probably both of those) it probably works out more expensive to handle the cash.
It’s mostly small places that don’t. I think they started during covid so they didn’t have to physically take anything from the grubby customers, and found they didn’t lose much (if any) business over it.
Cash still costs money to handle, either for the time or wages of taking it to the bank, or paying somebody to collect it every day.
I guess it helps that contactless payments are now ubiquitous. Practically everyone has a phone, and readers like SumUp and Square can be had for a few quid.
But then there are places that still only take cash, because it’s easier to hide that from the tax man.
