IGA store owner Kosta Tzortzis offers discounts to Aussies using cash

·

The owner of supermarket IGA Richmond in Tasmania, Kosta Tzortzis has been offering customers five per cent discounts if they pay in cash.

Mr Tzortzis has been offering the discounts since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and he’s hoping the idea catches on, as the debate over a “cashless society” intensifies.

“I’m surprised by how much attention it’s been getting,” Mr Tzortzis told 9news.com.au.

The supermarket owner said he decided to launch the idea after noticing hidden charges that come with using credit cards.

Mr Tzortzis said elderly customers love it, while younger customers still prefer to pay with cards on their watch or phone.
