pay

This video brings up a very interesting question about making payments and the use of cash. The video features a guy in Australia who goes to City Hall to pay a parking ticket fine. He asks the cashier if they accept cash and she says yes. He says great, reaches into his backpack, pulls out a bank bag full of coins and dumps them on the counter...is he wrong?

It was only a matter of time before restaurants started going to tabletop computer screens for customers to place orders and pay their bill at the end of the meal. Sounds kind of futuristic, but Chili's restaurants are experimenting with that very technology and expect to have the screens in all of their restaurants by early 2014.
