In Germany, One Concern Retailers Have Is Ensuring That Cash

In Germany, one concern retailers have is ensuring that cash drawers have enough money to make change when consumers make purchases. One company went so far as to use a computerized model that monitored the weight of the cash drawer and signaled a need for replenishment. This is such a concern because consumers typically use cash to make purchases, which differs from other countries, such as the United States, where credit card use is more common. Which cultural value does this illustrate?

A) hard work/leisure
B) competitive/cooperative
C) material/nonmaterial
D) postponed gratification/immediate gratification
E) sensual gratification/abstinence
