POW! BLAM!

A "cashless society" would most harm the poor. There wouldn't be any change to give to the homeless, or a single parent wouldn't be able to dig out loose change from the depths of the sofa to give lunch money...

Oh, is this why the weird right wing talking heads are boycotting now?

I'm trying to remember the last time I used cash in a shop, and it was a long time ago. The only thing I pay in cash these days is for a taxi when they don't allow card payment

For some people cash is all they are likely going to be able to pay for things with.
Businessess should not be permitted to refuse cash in the UK when cash is legal tender. That's my view anyhow. |

I had a look on twitter to see what you were on about. People were saying that a "cashless society is a surveilance society" ... i don't think it's particularly "right wing" to be against privacy invasions? (However unlikely)

That's not the case now. This needs nipping in the bud. For some people cash is the way they manage their finances. There should be no business discrimination against anyone using cash for payments with cash being legal tender in the UK. I don't use cash much however if I knew of businesses discriminating in this way, then I'd avoid those business outlets myself. |

From my experience the most regular and loyal customers at cafes are the retired and the elderly who are the demographic most likely to use cash and will be alienated by this. That seems to be the case with Costa and Nero anyway, maybe Starbucks has a bit of a younger customer base

it is a bold decision during an economic crisis for sure, but as long as there is a cash alternative option available elsewhere it is the right of the business to set its operational parameters

I use card most of the time, so I don't mind.

Never stepped foot in a Starbucks and never plan to either. They just seem a bit pompous.
