What good is cash gonna do if the networked cash register doesn't open anymore?

They have paper and pens that they can track their transactions until the system is fixed.

Simply not allowed for a lot of businesses in my country, either by the government or corporate.

Somebody's never worked retail. Yeah, there's no way they'll do that. Maybe at a small independently-owned store? Otherwise, there's no way they're even allowed to do that!

They can do that anyway. It's called credit.
