System Is Down.

Yesterday, one of my agenda items was to go to grocery. Unfortunately for me, their system is down and they just accept cash payment. I am supposed to pay via online banking, but I cannot. I need to withdraw cash, apparently most of the ATMs I went to yesterday were either offline or out of cash. I need to go out later for grocery again.

I think we are really not ready yet to be a cashless society...

This is why i always carry little cashs when go for buying or go for trip.Even though phone payment is very popular,i still carry cashs in case system down or other troubles.

It is unusual to encounter ATMs that are out of cash or offline. I hope this issue does not occur in my area, as I rarely withdraw cash these days and find it highly convenient to make payments through online methods or using a card.

Sigh, one of the stores around here seems to have that situation every once in awhile

That's really strange that all of them were either out of cash or not working. I hope you'll be able to access your account today and buy groceries.

That would have been frustrating. We try to have some cash on us at all times.

That's bad. Since their system is down and it's not your problem not to pay for it. I hope they will delay the payment time when their system is back to normal. I can understand how inconvenient it causes you. Today people won't keep much cash and I'm one of them.

Sometimes, that happens. I usually forget that I can pay through my ATM, so I withdraw first, but nowadays, I usually pay with my ATM.

I always keep cash with me, it happened a few times that the credit card machines did not work and I did not want to come back later to get my grocery.

That sounds so frustrating especially that you have to go back again.

Such problems often arise. Here we pay online, but sometimes the system is down.
