You almost have to do that now for some.
Look at Costco - you have to buy a membership to shop there. You effectively give away your right to privacy of your personal information on the premise that you get access to 'exclusive privleges' etc.
You are pushed to pay electronically.
That's a step towards Full Digital ID (tm), the eradication of cash, and the removing of privacy of your personal financial information and the right to choose how to pay for goods and services.
Ikea stores in Sydney have massive checkout areas - one at Rhodes has like 30 checkouts. But only 1 takes cash. For the rest, you can only pay with a card or other electronic payment type that's accepted.
