Most businesses, including pubs are going that way and some only accept card payments. Easily quicker than pissing about with money. There was a Topic which was vaguely ‘c***s in a Pub’. I recall people in that thread getting annoyed about people paying by card. To enter a pub without cash is the act of a cock. Getting food is acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In mine they do it once into a till So if a pint is £2.75 and you're going out for 4 pints you'll make sure you have 4 x £2.75 with you? I'll stick with the card world I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the 2 I was in last Friday where this happened a lot. I was doing a little experiment and It returned unsurprising results. Youths all paid by card. Older by cash. No time saved for staff by doing either. It might get quicker in future but at present it would be nice if people could stop being lazy as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of folk don’t carry cash anymore. Nightmare for beggars but it’s the future. Nightmare on the trains too given the shitty mobile reception in many places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) @Gaz FFC just admit you’re wrong rather than continuing on this pointless crusade, it’s taking almost as long as waiting for some duffer to get his coppers back from the till.

Not just on this 1 issue but society as whole are lazy as f**k It’s because most payments these days don’t require cash. Paying my window cleaner is cash, but paying the plumber is an online payment. Most tradesmen are online payments. Most restaurants are card payments, so the logical progression is most pubs are card payment places. Works fine. Annoys some older folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had one bad experience and that was when my card was cloned when I stayed down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 On the train I regularly see the cabaret of guards fannying about with card machines and the problems of poor mobile reception or low battery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 On the train I regularly see the cabaret of guards fannying about with card machines and the problems of poor mobile reception or low battery.Really good when they work but they aren't being maintained and the reception is awful like you say. It fair upset the ones who enjoyed their commission but I never relied on that and wanted an easy life. If it failed to work after 2 attempts (sometimes 1 depending how busy it was) I'd just give it the "just buy it on the way back". I don't like having to attempt more than once or twice when I pay so didn't expect other people to do it. Card is far quicker on the train on the rare occasion the machine is working fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 As someone that is always armed with both cash and card, which I use depending on the situation, I literally couldn't give a single f**k if I happen to waste a couple of seconds of the c**t who is standing behind me's unbelievably valuable time while I pay for my drink. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
