Agree, I have left shops before that don’t accept cashI've said it before.
If you won't accept my cash, you will not receive my custom.
I expect shops to accept both. Shops that only take cash piss me off, they're either tax dodging (barbers) or a front for slave labour (nail bars) a legitimate business will take both, why would any business refuse a perfectly reasonable way of paying.Agree, I have left shops before that don’t accept cash
I agree it does come across a bit dodgy when shops only take cash. My nail lady has a card machine but the signal is always temperamental with it because of the location of shop it’s hard to even get phone signal in that actual shopping centre. She accepts PayPal too but I always just pay cash for things like that anyway. The opticians next door to her only accept card payment and can never get a signal they’re forever having to take the machine outside of the shop and hold it in the air to try and get one it’s insanity that they don’t offer alternative payment methods when it’s so disruptive to their business!I expect shops to accept both.

Well I can think of two food chains that only take card, no doubt there are many more.I expect shops to accept both.

I’ve noticed this a lot with chains. I avoid them now. I don’t like paying for a cuppa with a card I’d rather use my loose change. A lot of the chains used covid as an excuse to go contactless but never reverted back.Well I can think of two food chains that only take card, no doubt there are many more.
Food places that only accept card such as a cafe I would absolutely LOVE to see a group of like a dozen walk in, eat their meals and when it comes to payment all put cash on the table. What would a business do? Let them eat for free or accept cash? Their choice. Even better if when the meals come out they need paying and at that point the business either accepts cash or has a dozen meals to chuck in the bin.At work the in-house cafe outlet and canteen is now permanently card only. My colleage keeps going to buy food and forgets they don’t accept cash, and she’s left her card at home. I’ve had to bail her out with my card a couple of timesBut, they should accept cash rather than have food plated up only to find the customer hasn’t got their card…
Years ago I worked at a very prestigious London firm that had in house cafes and restaurants, you had to use your staff card and the money came out of your salary at the end of the month. I was a contractor, so no staff card, no food or drinkAt work the in-house cafe outlet and canteen is now permanently card only.

I was at a concert last weekend, at the merch stand, it was often taking 3/4 attempts to put card payments through because they couldn't get WiFi signal. It's a joke. It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't go on to these WiFi card readers, never used to have this problem. But places need to take cash as an alternative for things like this.This made me laugh. Cash should always be accepted by a business.
Not sure why they used the TOTE as, unless it's different at different racetracks, they definitely take cash. I do adhoc work for Britbet and we prefer cash as it's far quicker than card payment.This made me laugh. Cash should always be accepted by a business.
I find it easier to budget with cash. If I go out with £20 in my wallet, I know that is what I have to spend for the day. The change in my wallet the end of the day allows me to see how much I have spent.I get the cash argument, but it's getting harder to find ATM's around our area. We did have maybe 5-6 banks in the local town - I think we're down to 2 now. The 4x ATM's at the local supermarket have been reduced to 1 machine, and the supermarket doesn't take cash in almost half of the shop-n-scan points. I don't know what the answer is?
I went to a coop the other day and all of the card payments were down, they had only been accepting cash all day, this isnone of the things that worries me about a cashless society too, technology isn't infallibleWhy a move towards a cashless society should concern us all - GP Taylor
One of the hidden symptoms of the Covid pandemic is that as a society we are using less cash. Being locked away in our homes meant we had to find other ways of buying the things we needed.www.yorkshirepost.co.uk
That explains it very well. Imagine being completely cashless already knowing we could have blackouts over winter. We'd have the extra worry of knowing we no longer had cash to pay with.
I'm always astounded by the cash is dead attitude of some people. All the card payment machines went down in South London and there was absolute chaos, shopping trolleys abandoned everywhere. The poor staff were running around trying to get all the perishables back on the shelves.I went to a coop the other day and all of the card payments were down, they had only been accepting cash all day, this isnone of the things that worries me about a cashless society too, technology isn't infallible
Yes I live in South London and remember this! Also when (I cannot remember which) bank payments went down, I remember tube stations in chaos as no one could use contactless or buy ticketsI'm always astounded by the cash is dead attitude of some people.

Maybe we need a pay by cash day to fuck over all the places that are trying to prevent us using it.
