That viral story about a store banning cash in Seattle fell apart in one afternoon
Last week a friend sent me a link from a site I had never heard of claiming a Seattle grocery chain would go card only starting January 1st. It got 40k shares in two days and the comments were full of people saying they would never shop there again. I spent about 20 minutes checking it and found the company's actual site said nothing about it, and the only source was a single tweet from an account made three days earlier. Two local reporters in Seattle already debunked it by Tuesday. Does anyone have a good way to spot these fake local news sites before they blow up, because I keep getting fooled by the headlines.
