Our nearest Greggs is in a petrol station.. Weird thing is they sell all their range apart from the best seller .. potato pasties ( flat and Cornish ) !! Apparently it’s because it’s a franchise ., Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 31-07-2023 at 06:30 PM. |

Cash machines will be around for a while but highstreet branches are on the way out. Old friend of mine has been management-level in a highstreet branch for about 10 years. He was shuffled around from town to town for ages as they closed branches; they've finally gone ahead and closed the most recent one.
Luckily for him he's not been made redundant, got a new position doing some other role (whatever it is makes no sense to me, some banking nonsense) but it's mixed 2 days/week in head office 3 days/week working from home For more money than working in a highstreet branch.

there is no legal obligation for a retailer to accept cash in the uk, just like there is no legal obligation on them to accept cards

If you want to use cash, go to a place which accepts cash, I personally very rarely use cash, so I won’t use shops that don’t accept cards, it’s not some massive conspiracy to take the rights of cash users away

thats all fine and dandy if you never step out of your neighbourhood and know who takes what, we went at Whitechapel hospital a few years ago and had no cash on us and the restaurant only took cash and there were no cash points in the hospital

I think any business which involves service to the public should take cash for as long as it's legal tender in this Country.. I rarely use cash myself but know of so many particularly elderly who still wish to deal only with cash. It's wrong they cannot. Plus MY OWN point is there shouldn't be cashless business outlets. Nor should they be allowed to be cashless either. By law The choice for either should always be there. That's MY view. It's not yours so fair enough. |

I can say that most gamblers hate not using cash. It shows them how much they're spending if there's a paper trail .
Also, lenders (such as for mortgages) don't like to see large-scale gambling on a bank statement, for obvious reason. And of course you have the tradies dodging their taxes. Can't do that with an electronic trail. |

The young Piper busker at Ibrox who belts out all the Rangers songs when the game is over takes contactless!

Alot of buskers have both now, generally they ask for 2.00 on contactless and then have a hat for change

I do however support people's right to NOT want it and to make a stand against it. But this seems like a bit of a stunt. The best stand people can take against a "cashless shop" if they don't want them to exist, is to simply not shop there, and to convince others not to shop there. |
