+ azdr0710 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Sitting here grabbing a bite and very impressed with the wide variety of music! From golden oldies to badass modern stuff. Depeche Mode, Streisand (Evergreen!!), Matt Dusk, Angie Stone, and more. Great change from the usual!! If you're ever in the area....... + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make an exception for SQ 21/22. Possibly others. Now, back to your scheduled programming. + azdr0710 and + BenjaminNicholas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Vegas_Millennial Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I was in EWR United Terminal in June. It looked very attractive. However, I was looking to buy a snack and drink while waiting for my flight. I only had cash. Not one restaurant or vending machine accepted cash in the entire terminal! Thankfully, I have not encountered this problem at other airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know of one COVID case that was ever linked to an exchange of cash.

"Touch-less transactions" are a "cure" in search of a disease. 'It makes sense' in that it's an understandable consequence of Covid, given that at first fomites such as cash were seen as being vectors of the virus, and that because of that later disproven hypothesis the use of cash declined or was replaced completely by contactless forms of payment. Some places just didn't go back to accepting cash. Still, it's somewhat surprising that every outlet in the terminal went that way. + BenjaminNicholas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
