It doesn't look to be a time of the harsher covid measures because no one is wearing a mask.
I get why if you're only buying one item you might not want to queue for one of the service desks. But getting a credit or debit card or queuing ... Or not buying strawberries at aldi, isn't overwhelmingly dystopian.

No, it isn't overwhelmingly dystopian in the clip. People obviously exaggerate individual situations to highlight potential future developments which deter from what we know of as normal, such as the obligation of retail establishments accepting cash, compared with what could become a reality should things get out of hand. I would for example, consider the situation in China to be dystopian, where your digital purchase history and social media activity combined with I'd tracking and facial recognition can influence your social credit score and can impact on aspects of your life such as freedom of movement. Where do we draw the line between warning of what is to come and having it already gone too far?
