scottsdad Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What about driving instructors? Do they still just take cash and/or sexual favours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Cash is a health and safety issue now. If you were a cash handling staff member would you fancy being forced to touch money that some moron anti vaxxer has had their minging hands all over?Plenty of businesses were phasing it out pre pandemic, this has just accelerated things. Tim Hortons and Wagamama’s are two I can think of off the top of my head that no longer take cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for staff, but today for example contactless wouldnt work so I had to type my pin in. I wonder how many grotty fingers had touched that today before me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've never got cash on me" - why? It's not going to turn into a pumpkin if you don't use it within 3 days of withdrawing it. I was going to say a McDonalds straw does the job better but they've switched to paper ones now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I went into either an Aldi or Lidl in some small Dutch town a couple of years ago to buy a snack and I had no idea it was a cashless only store until the miserable cashier bluntly rejected my 5 euro note. I dread to think how much that bag of crisps and bottle of juice actually cost me once Clydesdale stung me for using my debit card overseas. I don't know how common cashless shops are on the continent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is only issuing £20 notes he has to go somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 As far as I am concerned it's up to the owner what payment methods they are willing to accept. If business drops then they will either go out of business or adapt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 One of the things I've noticed with the move to cards and not having cash is it's often difficult to leave tips. I wonder if bar staff have noted a drop off in the tips they get.Generally the only places I've found that don't take cash are chip shops and Chinese takeaways and it's a right pain in the arse when you find out they don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 6 hours ago, ICTChris said: Over a million adults in the UK don’t have a bank account. Not doubting the truth of this but how does anyone function without one? Is there anyone that still gets a pay packet on a Friday thats an envelope full of cash? Benefits get paid into a bank account as well these days I think. Wasn’t there legislation a few years back to allow everyone a right to at least a no frills bank account regardless of credit history/income etc. There will be some people living outside of what we would term normal society but I’m surprised it’s as many as a million adults. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
