Probably counter-productive,but don't quote me on this.

Not only counter productive but also illegal, there's so many way to motivate employee. However in Japan go further, using weapon?

In other countries if employer don't like employee just fire them. However before they do that, they should make make good working environment, raise their salary and bonus.

Why should I change to cashless payments when using cash takes less time to process?

Because Japan want to show to the world it's cool.

Those system to setup cashless will cost business owner some fraction of their revenue. While in Japan many business already really have tight margin.

@garypen

I didn't realize replicas were illegal, as I have seen them advertised here.

It just for good PR for people who caught him, the actual one only 5, while 28 are imitations. If they really fair they'll just show only 5 but add that with 28, it really makes them as if they solve big cases. Which they actually show during press conference.
