Robinhood Offers to Bring Cash to Your Doorstep, for a Fee

Robinhood Markets is betting its Gen Z and millennial clientele are as eager to send out for delivery of a wad of cash as they are to order pizza or a pint of ice cream.

... The brokerage is joining with food-and-drink delivery app Gopuff to allow customers to withdraw cash from their Robinhood bank accounts and have it brought right to their door.

For a $6.99 delivery fee -- or $2.99 if they have more than $100,000 in assets across their Robinhood accounts -- users can skip the ATM and have money delivered in a sealed paper bag while they are at home. ...

OK, I guess my first question might be along the lines of ...

When was the last time you needed cash to complete a transaction.

For me, it is about four or five years ago.

I've had the same $20 bill in my wallet for years, unused.

True story ...

About 10 or so years ago, I walked to visit the local microbrewery with a couple neighbors for a burger and a brew.

As a tip, I left a 20% tip. But for the tip I used Susan B Anthony dollar coins.

The wait person looked and initially thought they were quarters (likely why the SBA dollar coins failed). His look changed to a smile as he examined the coins.

Is writing a check "cash?"

Because I pay the plumber (who has been great excellent) via a check.

I use cash all the time. The dispensary only takes cash. Also, for private local businesses I use cash to save them the CC fees, which they usually pass on to the customer anyway. I only tip in cash because many restaurants take the 3% out of CC tips.

The whole idea sounds ridiculous and dangerous.

This will make ransoming much more convenient!

Clever

Users are better off cashing out than HODLing their SToNks anyway.

Don't forget whores. Whores only take cash. Although the younger ones are using the Venmo.

Americans are so gullible, they'll pay for anything, even cash.

What, you've never used at ATM machine?

This service delivers for not much more than ATM fees.

And you can get much more cash at once.
