However, I am not going to use EFTPOS to purchase anything less than a
weekly ticket, because I pay the government 30c for every withdrawal
between $0 and $99, then 70c for withdrawals bwtween $100 and $499.
This would mean that I would be paying $7.30 instead of $7 for a zone
1&2 daily. Obviously I have to do my shopping at a supermarket and get
money there, because I can ask for change. If I withdraw money from an
automatic teller machine, I won't get anything smaller than a $20 note.
