I have refused to use any business since 2020 that refused to take cash and we should all do the same. A cafe in my Market Town was the first to try this, lasted 8 months and closed after 6 years of trading.
One hundred years ago my granny surviving one workshop had remarried to continue to live live in poverty! They had three children who slept under her husband's greatcoat from the war ,yes he was one of the 'lucky' ones who survived four years of hell! They had nothing, in the 1930's from that little their nothing was reduced!( Policeman's boot and shoe fund)poverty! 1940's the poverty remained but with blackouts and airraids! In 1945 we were 'given ' s socialist state ,a small chance to improve! Between 1950's and 1980's the country has been destroyed! We haven't got anything,so long as there is first and second class travel we own nothing! Never have,never will! Come 2066 I wonder to whom we will be swearing allegiance!
I prefer buying in gold. But it means consulting the current gold price each time, having an inspection each time, and trusting that the seller has an accurate pair of scales.
That's true, Rjb, although most payments are by a chip non contact tap now, there are still door handles and chairs to avoid touching (!). And there always were and still are toilet doors and flush handles to avoid touching, water taps to use but to somehow not touch after using the actual water(!), door handles on the way in and on the way out to avoid touching again... Lots of people don't wash their hands still after toileting, but they still use the door handles! So, we who do wash our hands have the water tap issue to deal with and then we have to avoid touching the door handles...
I don't live my life for the benefit of banks and the government. I spend where and when I want without being a statistic to be manipulated and forced in any direction. Don't let them take away your freedom.
As schools and attending a Catholic school we learned many hymns one I and most Catholics would remember had this verse,which I always felt I might have to live up to "Our Fathers chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free!" bring it on liberals, we see well enough!
Also, try and take a sip of a drink or a bite of anything that you ordered to eat, and it becomes a 'debt'. And it is legal to pay a debt in cash only. They can't refuse. So I have been told.
A restaurant my wife and I have frequented for years, especially if we are going to a show has now went card only. Once I paid for our meal I told the waitress and manager that we won't be back as I refuse to be told how I have to pay for something. A lot of the pubs and restaurants in my area are doing the same. Sadly a lot of the young people just take out their phone and pay without realising the direction they are being lead. China here we come!!
I’d of said I’ve only got cash, so I can’t pay and walked out. Then they’d have had to throw all 3 pints down the drain, and if this happened let’s say a dozen or more times in one day, then this would start eating into profits.
I was recently in a pub with some friends and the round came close to 40 quid . Of course the inevitable happened . SORRY , WE DON 'T TAKE FIFTY POUND NOTES .Who would refuse a €50 note in the Eurozone . This is very primitive and an insult to the customer .
If you go down the pub with twenty quid in your pocket that is your limit , on how many pints you can get for that amount on your bin. , but if it's by card only then the pub wants you spending more than you can afford , after a few pints . You might get Blaise . And spend too much leaving the old girl indoors short of her smoked salmon , joke, but that's the reason they want you spending more than you can afford. , bit like gambling , it's mugs game . The real time I went for a decent drink was when Gordon brown banned smoking. Never been back since . , other than a restaurant now maybe. Possibly twice in a year if I'm lucky otherwise. Now stay away. Rather drink and have a smoko at home chill relax. , maybe at Xmas now , otherwise cannot be bothered. , the enjoyment went. Rules came in telling everyone what they can and cannot do , stuff em ,
I asked for a pint of bitter in a lake district pub...she poured it put it on the bar and she said sorry no cash, card only...I said well that's that then, walked out and went to the pub next door🍺😄
These Pubs should accept cash and reward the cash payers by reducing the prices by the same percentage that they pay the Card company bandits. If they don't, do not give them any businnes. Or is this thinking outside of the box not acceptable?
🏴 here. Walked into a kebab place (the ones that sell 🍔's and 🍕's) and ordered a 12" 🔥 and spicy chicken and pineapple pizza. Think it came to about 13, 14 pounds. When I went to pay with cash the guy on the till said that they only accept card payments. Now I did have my card on me and really wanted a 🍕 pizza that night but I thought no, this is a matter of principle. I told him if my cash was not good enough (as it is still legal tender) then my cash will go to the chippy next door. I then turned around, walked out, went into the chip shop and bought a steak pie supper. If more people realise that the day we lose cash is the day we are not getting it back then what do we pay with if for any reason the energy grid went down. I get it. You tap your card, it's instantly paid (if your card is accepted) and you are on your way. Everybody is in such a convenient hurry to get served these days that even I have gotten impatient with someone at the till taking ages to fumble around for the correct coins but on reflection now if that is an inconvenience I have to put up with to keep cash in circulation then all the better for it.
Where I work the card machines and tills keep going down so sick of it cause it just starts the customers off and it's not our fault but we get the brunt of it we didn't install them and have no say
Legislation has decimated pubs over the last decade. Soon only chains like Weatherspoon's will remain, My local town centre has gone from 12 pubs to 3 in the last ten years, 1 is spoons, the other two are conservative and labour club.
The Royal in Portishead. That’s now cashless and me and my wife walked out when we realised like we would do at any other place with doesn’t take cash!
I am a small business and I never opened a business account with my bank and just traded through my savings account It avoided the loopholes that banks use to restrict businesses paying in or withdrawing cash
Good one from Andy. Cashless society, CBDC are necessary to impose Social Credit. We all know what that's about. Pubs, the prices are out of order. Loads are still going out of business, the remaining ones lack the character (and characters) of yer local. No fun. This breaking down communities, people are getting more isolated. Without chatting about this n that we are ever more dependent on MSM to form our opinions.
They've Tried This In Australia Too; I Don't See How It's Even Remotely Legal, To Refuse Cash As "Consideration!!" It Brings Into Question The Country's Ability To Redeem The Banknote In It's Full Value!! This Is Axiomatically An Offence Against The Currency, Just As Serious As Counterfeiting!!
Over the last 40 or so years it has been pub beer and festival tickets that have been the most inflationary products on the market. I suggest Londoner's need to go back a few hundred years and start from the beginning and brew their own beer in their cellars.
Our local pub went cashless, they haven’t had a penny from me since and won’t. I won’t use self service tills either, if the till isn’t manned I leave the goods on the counter.
The small businesses are not always to blame, the banks often make it too expensive or outright refuse cash deposits. What does the business do with the cash, keep it in boxes and hope burglar Bill doesn't take an interest? According to a channel specialising in Gold and Silver, they found out the local bank only had about £3000 in cash beside what the machines held.
Our local Asda has just closed their kiosks at their petrol station and introduced card only payments. My local petrol station is slightly more expensive but still accept cash, i'd rather pay slightly more and pay cash than be controlled.
I'm not scared of money , I get a note & spend it, ,unlike plastic germ collecting cards that are touched multiple times by multiple people & I love the smug feeling when the card machine goes down , (a couple of times a month) & i can buy lunch with my cash & watching the card users come in & get a firm , no is very entertaining.
Trouble is you can't keep a track of you money when cashless, when we were paid in cash you could budget, and with all the banks shutting more jobs lost
During lockdown was like a paper spell , paper 😷 masks , brain 🧠 washing fear newspapers 📰, No paper money, police papers please? Toilet🧻 roll shortage!
Adnam's in Suffolk has gone cashless, such a shame. I used to like a pint of Adnams beer but now they wont take me money I cant drink there beer . Principal comes in to play . Lots of other nice beers about .
Yes there's a pub near me in Derbyshire who announced they were going card only so I stopped going in. They still seem to be going but I heard they had started accepting cash again. I'll have to go and find out.
I don't go out much, but I NEVER take my bank cards in case I lose them or get robbed... if I'm with friends I don't even take my phone... Just take enough cash out for a decent night out, taxi home etc, with £20 hidden somewhere in case of emergency x
I live in a large village but here things seem to be going the other way. The barbers that I go to is cash only as it was during the lockdown. In the turkish run kebab shop there is a notice on the till 'Use cash if you can ... Use it or lose it'.
The Turkish barber and kebab man are probably laundering, same as the car wash guy, I'm amazed how everyone knows what they're up to but rarely are they checked. Probably don't want to be called wacists😂
Scottish, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and Manx banknotes are not legal tender in England and Wales. However, they are not illegal under English law and creditors and traders may accept them if they so choose
Nope. Shops are perfectly entitled to reject foreign notes, or even all notes. This has nothing to do with 'legal tender' as that is only relevent for debts judged by a court, not retail over the counter.
My (ex) local (in Walthamstow) went card only… AND prices went through the roof, post lockdown. I pass it frequently, doesn’t look nearly as busy as it once was….
A while ago one of our federal politicians produced a $50 dollar bill to pay for his lunch at the restaurant in parliament house, only to be told they no longer accept cash... Quite a ruckess ensued with the staff member asked to get the manager, who subsequently had to acknowledge that they do in fact accept cash. Egg in the face when it became a national headline... In Australia cash is legal tender and it is illegal to refuse it for payment of goods and services...
Let their pockets feel the wrath - we should share on socials who are doing this and have people boycott them - I do feel for staff in kitchens and bar staff who'd lose their jobs though because as I know myself in many coastal areas hospitality jobs are all that are going and even they are seasonal. But those companies need to be told and not attending seems to be the way. You'd think they didn't want your custom.
It's been a turn around at our wee chippie, whereas before, folk wanted cashless, now everyone, bar teens, pay cash for their food which makes me very happy. If my cash is no good, their shop is no good to me.
Another issue I recently encountered in a clothing store.They no longer issue a reciept. You have to pass over your email address and they send it to you. I refused.
I am an old cyclist, so the destination is always a café. In the past (example figure) the bill for coffee and cake was £4.55. Used to offer a fiver and say "keep the change". Now I pay £4.55 by card, either the only, or preferred way, so someone is missing out on the tip.
Dunno if this is true but I've been told that if a place refuses your offered payment, in the correct ammount of legal tender obviously, its legal to take whatever it is and keep it. Anyone else heard of this?
It used to be a crime to refuse the Queen's/King's currency, because their image was on it. To the best of my knowledge, this law has not been changed. If you don't use cash, we'll lose it and our freedom as well.
This is why the cost of the beer has gone up. "You can expect to pay anything from 1.5% to 3.5% with each payment, depending on the credit card your customer uses. There are also authorisation fees that cost around 1p to 3p per sale, and merchant service fees of 0.25% to 0.35%." I don't understand why anyone would want to use cards only and face the fees, unless it is pressure from the powers to be. Such as, the pub can only get a license if they go card only. This is all the pre-cursor to central bank digital currency, which i reckon will be here before the end of next year.
There’s a couple of bars near me, one I’ve never been in as they actually had a sandwich board outside saying card only, and the other sells all the foreign beers, used to be a regular until a couple of months ago when they put a sign up on the door, card only. It used to be expensive but the beer was good and strong, christ knows how much it must be now for a drink with the card reader rental and card transaction fees passed on to the customer..
With cash you didn't spend as much you would get a certain ammount out before going out to the pub and when it ran out you thought time to go home but now it's easy just to keep tapping if you have spent the last of your change on a pint
I'm paying 2.45 a pint at Weatherspoons. Cash or card accepted. It's the same price all over England. A little bit more in Scotland because of additional SNP taxes.
Interestingly a pub in Hockley Essex, ' The Bull' tried to go cashless a while ago, it didn't take long to change back to cash. I went to the R Academy in London recently and bought a £1 postcard, they only take card!

Start a fightback! Wait until the drinks have been poured then produce cash and if its not accepted leave immediately.
Done that. In Whitelocks in Leeds, whose main attraction is being the oldest pub in the city! The history means nothing to them.
Yes!

"You can expect to pay anything from 1.5% to 3.5% with each payment, depending on the credit card your customer uses. There are also authorisation fees that cost around 1p to 3p per sale, and merchant service fees of 0.25% to 0.35%."
I don't understand why anyone would want to use cards only and face the fees, unless it is pressure from the powers to be. Such as, the pub can only get a license if they go card only.
This is all the pre-cursor to central bank digital currency, which i reckon will be here before the end of next year.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but pound sterling IS legal tender in this country.
There’s a couple of bars near me, one I’ve never been in as they actually had a sandwich board outside saying card only, and the other sells all the foreign beers, used to be a regular until a couple of months ago when they put a sign up on the door, card only. It used to be expensive but the beer was good and strong, christ knows how much it must be now for a drink with the card reader rental and card transaction fees passed on to the customer..
Aye a rip off plus being told how to pay.Do not give them your custom,simple.
I'm saving up for a cab journey and a pint. I might need to set up a Go Fund Me page.
Cashless is simply so they can spy on our movements. You cant trace cash transactions.
With cash you didn't spend as much you would get a certain ammount out before going out to the pub and when it ran out you thought time to go home but now it's easy just to keep tapping if you have spent the last of your change on a pint
No cash. No spend. Bye!
I don’t understand how there are any pubs left looking at their prices.
Very good point.
Pub my me is card only .. guess what we don’t use it
Cash talks, credit robbs slowly
Just say NO CASH NO SALE and walk out. it was not that long a go some business would not take cards.
I think maybe it's getting more difficult for businesses to bank cash with so many bank branch closures...?
I'm paying 2.45 a pint at Weatherspoons. Cash or card accepted. It's the same price all over England. A little bit more in Scotland because of additional SNP taxes.
I have heard Starbucks have gone "cashless". Haven't been in our local branch lately but if that's the case I wont be in again!
Pubs outside Reading Railway Station and Cambridge Railway Station are card only
Interestingly a pub in Hockley Essex, ' The Bull' tried to go cashless a while ago, it didn't take long to change back to cash. I went to the R Academy in London recently and bought a £1 postcard, they only take card!
I would walk out 😂😂😂
NMW makes prices for everything increase. 2 pints - £11 in Send, Surrey.
😂😂😂 Anyone tried getting 3k cash from banks lately. A very disturbing experience?
When I took high school law in Canada back in the day, refusing legal tender as payment is illegal. The product or service becomes free .
It's toodleoo To any cashlesh bar , shop ,whatever , from me!!
enjoying your channel after ex army paz gave you a shout out.
Missing UK pubs since I emigrated.
Creeping Islam: driving booze prices up so high that people turn tea-total (do Muslims drink tea?)
Use your card, the banks win. £10 on card used 10-15 times becomes zero value due to bank fees!!!!
I’ll tell you - with a name like “The Shakespeare” - that’s one pub that will never “keep a slate” - “Neither a borrower nor a lender be…” 😝 !!!!
I will never enter a place that doesn't take cash
