Some people will just work to do something. It’s pretty boring doing nothing every day. Especially customer facing roles where you can talk to people instead of staying home. For cooks they can hone their skills everyday.

I imagine most things would become a service barter situation. Like you make me a great meal and ill give you a massage. Or whatever. People would be pretty confined to a particular region if theyre returned there at the start of every reset, so you'd probably have a build up of a sort of reputation economy. Probably mass marketplaces would form up where people could trade 'favors'. There'd probably be a new occupation that crops up where someone keeps track of credits and exchanges them, but any kind of physical currency would be useless. But if you wanted a service from a particular person who didnt want anything you could ogger, you'd need some sort of middleman to vouch for you or things could get complicated fast.

And if the middleman uses numbers to keep track, you now have currency again, and they're a banker.
