Apologies I thought it was you who was anti, Just in Time in the Brexit thread, starting that debate.
Well, the problem with 'just in time' is that it's a bit of a cover for the long distances goods often travel under that heading. If things were produced more locally 'just in time' that would be fine--the idea itself is quite innocuous. As it is, the practice is unsustainable and imposes massive transport problems, but I can't remember having that debate in the EU thread particularly.
I’d disagree, I prefer not using cash. Both here and abroad and I wouldn’t put it as simply as being lazy.
Perhaps not in your case, but many people want what they see as that small convenience of just waving a card about, which contactless has made possible. Obviously, that's only one small aspect of the problem. Others are that many people dislike handling cash, which I like. Again, why should I not have the choice?
I’d agree credit cards have caused problems for some but many use them sensible and as such are a suitable financial tool. Surely as much of this is education or there lack of?
It doesn't matter. The upshot of it has been what I've said.

Part of the JIT philosophy is moving suppliers closer to the factory, decreasing the lead time between order and arrival, thereby reducing waste (and also total transport required).
