Being the worst Piers and the worst Corbyn is quite an accomplishment.

[MTVN]

Literally a Sainsburys next door which would accept his cash

[MTVN]

That said he is quite entertaining and better than Jeremy

[arista]

I agree with Paying Cash

[Crimson Dynamo]

He is channelling any Scot in England trying to use a Scottish £10 note

The reputation of Scots paying with fake notes precedes them unfortunately

Sorry but I think ANY business providing a service to the UK public.
Should by law be forced to take payment in cash.
For as long as cash is legal tender, it should be illegal for a business to refuse to do so.
They shouldn't be in business in the first place unless they do.
In my view.

totally agree

A lot of sports stadiums now are becoming totally cashless

I was at Edgbaston this year and it was card only, £7.20 a pint or something like that. But there was one chap on the bar who said to us quietly - 'its cheaper with cash you know'. £20 taken for 5 pints and shoved straight in his pocket. Which is probably part of the reason these places would rather not bother with it

no cash at Ibrox

[bots]

its a simple fact that they need less staff and can process purchases much faster with no cash payments. People can choose to see it as a large conspiracy, i prefer to see it as progress

the growing reduction (if reductions can grow :conf:) of social interaction will change society for good

and by good i mean bad

[hijaxers]

totally agree

Yes agreed we've signed the Don't kill cash petition on GB news .

[bots]

i'm surrounded by the Ken Dodd society :laugh:

How does anyone pay? Surely about 97% of the people there are strictly cash-in-hand-only painters, plasterers and landscape gardeners?

maaaaaaaaaaaaate

You should be able to pay with cash if you want to end of

[bots]

there will be no banks and no cash machines, so people won't be able to pay with cash

[arista]

Yes I signed it

that got well over 2000
So will be a Debate in Parliament

That's not true

Yes
that why he did it.



Greggs now take Cash
Covid is not as bad these days

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 .,

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.

This, definitely.

[bots]

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

[Liam-]

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

The Karen energy in this post is hilarious. It’s a cashless store. Cashless. Cash LESS.

I mean it’s pretty self explanatory.

Keep some notes on you

Sometimes the shop Online feed
Crashes or the Computer in the store
crashes

Then they say Sorry we can only take cash
Have your back up, ready.

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

That has happened a few times where the systems go down ....

Think what you like
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.

[user104658]

I can say that most gamblers hate not using cash. It shows them how much they're spending if there's a paper trail :joker:.

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.

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

I imagine it's pretty much essential to make any money at this point... I don't know many people who carry cash and even fewer who carry spare change. I keep £50 in my wallet for emergencies (but I'm not giving a busker a tenner :oh: ) and a pound coin in the car for places that still have "coin locks" on their trolleys (another pet peeve of mine :hmph: ) and that's it. I also have a card in the car for one of those random online banks, that I use for fuelling up at places that only have card machines on the pumps... even then, some have contactless these days.

Other than that, I haven't used anything but my phone to pay for anything for years...

The crims have been using crypto recently, but I reckon that's on the way out. The "home made" cryptos, anyway. We'll probably get the Sunak CDBC's at some point.

And as someone said there’s a Sainsbury’s next door which accepts both cash and card.

This moron purposely went inside a cashless establishment and tried to pay cash.

Well yes but it's a deliberate/pointed protest against the idea of a cashless society... that's sort of the point. I don't know if I agree with the sentiment or not. I think the idea of state control over digital currency is a bit of an overblown conspiracy: we've been using "chip and pin" for decades and moving away from paper cash towards digital payment methods entirely seems like an inevitability.

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.
