WCDT strips 4311-4315 (20-25 July 2020)
BenRG:
When I first saw this strip on Patreon, I thought about the unlikelihood of the daughter of the God of Synthetics and The Wicked Witch of Corporate America not having access to dozens of electronic payment and donation methods. Then I thought about it and I realised that Hannelore's background and condition probably actually makes having some physical payment method reassuring to her. A kind of symbol of control over her life.
She also strikes me as someone who might be attracted to the romanticism of 'the old way of doing things'.

I think that they were referring to the fact that, in the US, significant charitable donation is rewarded with tax credits.
St.Clair:
and after Beeps goes to the bank, she can drop by the Horrible Revelation and get a sarsparilla while a boy with a small wood box shines her shoes.

I wonder what will be next? May being unable to transfer out of her current body because she's still on probation?
--- Quote from: Tova on 19 Jul 2020, 22:00 ---Okay, so my next question... :-D
If you wanted to pay a friend rather than a business for some reason (say, you're buying something off them)... what form of payment would you use, apart from cash?

Bank transfer, or maybe PayPal.

Oh. Right. So... probably... the same answer? Nothing at all unless you are quite wealthy and/or generous? I mean, is that relevant to a high school student donating to a friend, I dunno.

It's one of the features of most mobile banking apps...and before you ask, a lot of small charities have to use checks because of legal and accounting issues. Even if you digitize the check, you still have to retain the original for your records
