Cash is King or Not?

No queues at all, why would there be, once the payment is authorised with a PIN payment is done, straight from buyers bank account directly into sellers. what are you waiting 20 seconds for? it should only take a couple. As you have already pointed out the systems do have some differences, you may catch up one day!
So why did you have to go for a coffee when youd paid a car dealer ?

It won’t be straight through. Somewhere, someone is taking a cut to pay for the costs of running the machines.

There will be a cost somewhere, although this has to be less than the cost of handling cash and cheques, the payment does go straight through and is available funds immediately.

So do you have a merchant account yourself, or are you just guessing?
You said
"It’s quite handy for the payment to be instant when the seller needs to know he has been paid before you take your purchase away. Once bought a car from a dealer, as the dealer was a few hours away from home and not one I had dealt with before he needed to see payment before I could drive the car away, easy, pay with card, go for a cup of coffee, come back, payment gone through, drive home."
So he wasn't guaranteed the money until it hit his account , in the UK we are guaranteed the money as soon as the PDQ prints the receipt , sounds like you have a slow antiquated system there , you want to get into the 21st century
He`s making it up as he goes along , clearly.

To be fair, your own posts in this thread aren’t exactly accurate either.

I have more than one merchant account and everything I`ve quoted is exactly how it is with my card processors so maybe you are not that au fait with the systems yourself.

Get what?
I actually preferred cheques, it was because banks didn't want to provide that service was why they were stopped, and it's a major inconvenience for those with no internet.
Location, if in doubt figger it out.....
So what if it's a UK based forum, it would be pretty fecked if it had no input from outside the UK/real world.

Perspective is merely the view from the point that you stand on, ignore the fact that a person standing next to you or far over the horizon will have a different view even if you are looking at the same point.
Who's the guy in the picture???

Do as I say , not as I do and send me the
!I`m genuinely concerned about the amount of immigrants turning up in the UK, legal and illegal , the majority come from cultures that are not compatible with British culture , they will never fit in with the way we live and dont want to either , it`ll not end well , well actually it`ll never end .
