I just wish they would outlaw the "minimum charge" that some places have (like no card for transactions under £5). I hardly ever carry cash these days .

The reason for this used to be that there is a minimum charge of 50p or 10% per transaction to the shopkeeper etc.
Not good for them in a small business.
Many restaurants and shops in local villages and small towns near us wouldn't accept them at all.
