Tbh cash makes things more difficult when it’s tax time. I don’t use cash at
all and it makes things much simpler so for their records (or security against
theft) it might make sense for them

Not to get political, not accepting cash is often viewed as discriminatory against
the unbanked. However at a recent trip to Universal many of the restaurants
did not have cashiers or staff taking orders. All food was order in the app and
delivered to the table.

Good or bad, not sure.

Good if you can’t speak English, or are a introvert

But it is known that without human interaction we won’t get sick leading to weak
immune systems.

True, it is California after all. But I like to pay with cash, as it assists
with helping me not to overspend.

App means phone, means tracked by wifi and cellular data, having to pay monthly
from a bank account, etc. It's far less privacy, for sure.

Personally I find it far easier not to pay anything with cash and I barely remember
what our current coins are But I respect people using it for this reason
(plus the fact you see your money spent, while when it's on a Card or App,
you may not realize

  People probably already know this, but Legoland California no longer has any
pick a brick worth visiting at all.
I had to buy a bag to carry the 4-5 small cups i did get.
It's their loss, last time I was there, they had to use x2 golf
carts to move all the stuff I bought to my car.

Totally Disappointed,

Maybe the average customer does not expect to buy two golf carts full of LEGO
to make their trip worthwhile.

pick a brick worth visiting at all. They also do not take cash. Anywhere for
any reason. There are two small pick a brick walls, one in a store at the gate,
and another in the underwater store area. Both only had small cups. I had to
buy a bag to carry the 4-5 small cups i did get. I was at legoland florida in
March and they at least had bags, and they also were selling bricks by weight.
They also had a person greeting people as they entered the parking lot, who
informed you they do not accept cash. Legoland california has no one. You potentially
could get stuck at the gate, if you had a bunch of people behind you. I am sure
many are okay with this, but not I. How can they make a bunch of plastic bricks
for sale, but we can not even have a plastic straw? So I have decided, legoland
germany is it. Gonna stay for a week, that's 200g's per brick element
per day, if I am correct. Bring a couple empty suitcases. And give the rest
to a buddy and have him ship them on base. Looks to be about a 3hr drive from
Frankfort. That was my last trip to legoland california. I will not return
again. It's their loss, last time I was there, they had to use x2 golf

I guess even LEGO isn’t immune to the crazy’s out in California.

Hi,

Is your password more than 15 characters?

Or does it have accented characters or symbols?
What’s your operating system?  Windows or Mac?  And what’s your langage and locale? 
(I’d guess Deutsch/Austria.)

The same is true of the less developed parts of the United States. Big Canadian

That’s just it most of Canada’s towns are small, leading to not many big roads.
