1. I don't know any bank that does, but in any case voting with your wallet is always an option.

2., 3., 4. Voting with your wallet once again.

5. That would be illegal in many jurisdictions, some countries even have a centralized systems for doctors to upload documentation (that you access using your ID as an authentication token).

6., 7. Unless the employer provides said smartphone, that would be illegal to require in most countries.

8. Vote with your wallet, also all such airlines can print a boarding pass for free if you do the checkin on the website.

Half of the voting with your wallet are blind to the fact that you can't vote anything else.

My village has one football team, not N. There's one burger place, not two.

For the rest, appealing to legality is pointless, I ain't bringing my family doctor to a tribunal over this, this is real life and me being petty for not wanting to use a phone. Being right years from now is beyond pointless.

Sounds like you have given up without a fight and deserve whatever you get.

epolanski@ is, unfortunately, right. You may try to "walk away" if you are not interested in the end result. If the fact of walking away for you is more important / feels better than actually doing what you came for. (And don't get me started on how girls look at you when you start fishing for petty change in your pockets - that seriously limits your dating pool LOL)

As someone with a long term partner who shares my use of cash, at least for some things, you don’t want to date people who look down on you for your choice of payment. Red flag. Waste of time.

Have some self respect. Don’t date people who aren’t mostly aligned with your values.

[pbgcp2026]

"Have some self respect". Sure. Which hand respects you more: right or left one? ;-)

I know this was a joke, but if you’re having trouble meeting someone who shares your values, maybe try looking in different places than you would expect (they don’t have to share your interests, that’s less important than you would think as long as you can bend to each other) or reevaluating what you think your “type” is. Many people chase a certain type of person, and only after they end up with someone totally different do they realize that their attraction to that type was some kind of pathology, perhaps replaying trauma from childhood.

Ain't life simple as you make it?
