In their own words

Views were mixed on how people would handle a cashless shop. Some respondents said they would simply pay using digital or mobile options such as USDT or M-PESA, and one felt going cashless would actually be a positive move, helping curb under-the-table dealing and cheating. Others noted that certain items still require cash payment, suggesting a lingering reliance on cash for some purchases.
