Too much reliance on technology

I am at the cricket. Many people now use their phones to pay for lunch.
What happens when the system goes down?
You end up with a line of cricketeers wanting summat to eat during their very limited lunch break.

I do carry some cash just for such cases. The other day a cashier couldn't break a hundred that someone came in with. So after checking it myself, I exchanged it for five twenties.

I broke the hundred at a different place shorty afterwards.

Not many places can break even a hundred because most purchases are electronic. So I keep up with who does and does not.
