British man applauded for forcing cash on cashless business

Social media netizens are applauding British personality Piers Corbyn for forcing a “cashless” business Thursday to accept cash for a transaction.

Video footage uploaded to social media shows Corbyn, brother to former Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, paying for a carton of strawberries at an Aldi supermarket in Greenwich. The branch was the grocery store chain’s first location to become checkout-free, where shoppers pay via a mobile payment app without having to scan any items.

“I’m going to buy some strawberries, and I’m offering exactly the right amount of money here on the help desk,” Corbyn said as he placed several coins on the counter. “So you people take that money — £1.90 — and I will take my strawberries outside.”

Corbyn began to walk out of the store with his strawberries despite protests by employees, who told him he “can’t take that” and threatened to call the authorities.

“If you want to call the police, call the police. I have paid by legal tender,” Corbyn told the workers as he forcefully nudged his way through the automated exit gates.

Many cheered Corbyn online for defying a globalist push by governments and corporations to become digital societies where no transaction is anonymous.

“Piers Corbyn -mad as a box of frogs, but I love him,” tweeted GBNews presenter and UKIP Party Deputy Leader Rebecca Jane. “Swans into @AldiUK’s dystopian cashless shop, puts his money down, strolls out with his strawberries with staff shouting ‘police are coming’. 

“A) let the police fight actual crime. B) don’t conform. C) strawberries for everyone.”

“Given that they plan on eliminating cash altogether, this is an important act of resistance,” commented Red State Editor-at-Large Ben Kew.

Taxpayers around the world have begun to push back on the forced transition to digital currency, which opens up transactions to being monitored and even controlled. Some governments have made moves to outlaw cash outright and impose digital currencies issued and controlled by their central banks.

Earlier this month Australians launched a “cash-only week” during which tens of thousands transacted only in cash. In cases where businesses refused cash, the goods were left on the counter.

“Piers Corbyn is bonkers, but he’s bloody right here,” wrote political commentator Adam Brooks. “The mission creep to move away from cash will impact so many old, vulnerable and cash businesses, at a time when banks are shutting branches and cancelling accounts for opinions that they don’t like. Bravo here tbh.”
