My first taste of pure evil capitalism was when my fast food job in college was forcing everyone to switch to getting a “cash card” rather than a check.
That card had a $0.25 fee every time you used it.
I don’t know if it still exists or if sane politicians told companies that shit was illegal.
They’re trying to go back to the 1800s. The giant, old, textile factory near where I live had dorms where the workers would live on premises and were paid in script for the stores owned by the factory. Like coal villages. They converted them into luxury loft apartments now.
🎶You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store.🎶

Still exists. We took out the middle man between the payday loan people and the minimum wage employees. Private sector efficiency in action!
I believe it is semi-legal where a card CAN be offered, but only as an alternative to direct deposit.
