Did I tell you that the boys' school practise a cashless system in their school cafetaria?
Though it sounds good in principle, I find the system rather flawed. For starters, the kids do not learn to manage their money properly. All they do is SWIPE their card, without much thought. In addition, receipts are not provided for their purchases, thus making the kids more oblivious to what they have actually bought. Without receipts as the proof of purchase, I find it really difficult to reconcile the balance left on the card at the end of the week. I don't understand why the cafetaria management can't provide receipts. Surely a receipt printer is not all that expensive!
