Yeah, I'm sure Mrs. Smith manning the "self-checkout" at Kroger is going to be cutting coins and weighing gold to pay for your milk and bread....lol. But then again if we're facing an EMP none of those self-checkouts are gonna be working anyway.

If Kroger is still running, likely the World as we know it hasn't ended, though it dropped a class point or two.

When I was in England several times back in the early seventies, taxes were very bad and impacted everything. I made English friends across classes and saw a lot of barter. Electrical work for loan of a car, drinking for how many weeks to landscape the back garden of a pub, etc. etc, Services as well as goods. As late as the '50's Dad had a couple of patients who paid with stuff because they were short of money. Many of us have skills or training that our neighbors do not have and vice versa. Key is to have neighbors!

The conundrum, of course, is what sale is safe. A well placed 22 LR will do the trick and your customer has it all.

Actually, making liquor would be ideal. Portable, doesn't spoil, a desirable product. One of the key money generators for George Washington's estate. Bootlegging!
