Companies won't take cash?

[stewart]

Do you really think cash should be banned?

Yes, there is no need for it. I haven't used cash for years, most places refuse to take cheques, our bank stopped issuing them earlier this year and they will not be able to be used from July next year, digital is the way to go.

That’s a rather intolerant attitude of how others do things

What do you get in your birthday card? A receipt of a transaction?
I like cash, also it takes some realising from my tight fist or from my secret hiding place

It wasn't when some self-employed had to furlough and had to prove their income to make a claim.

Serves em right for not declaring enough

Sort of thing that the Inland revenue would take an interest in

Well they always put it in the till, so it must be booked.

If you did that to me, I would do so. You can’t force a sale like that.

Good job I don’t visit the Highlands too often then!
I could cite anti Welsh discrimination if I waited for the plod to roll up; but I wouldn’t do that to a fellow Celt.

PS Don’t think I have ever, ever before heard of a Scotsman refusing money! Are you sure you are Scottish?

I don’t get anything in my birthday cards.
Come to think of it that could be because I don’t get any cards.

 

[ridger]

Which is why cash should be banned, all transactions should be by Credit or Debit card only. The ones interested in taking cash only tend to be drug dealers.

Nonsense. If I didn't accept cash I'd have no money of any kind in one week. And it gets declared

I like cash too ARW, and I know it is hard to get It from your tight fist.
But as for your ‘secret’ hiding place....................have you been there to count up recently?

Intolerant or pragmatic? The cost of using cash or cheques is high, to all concerned, the buyer, the seller, the banks and the exchequer, the sooner we have a cashless society the better, for all concerned.

If there was no cash and the only option was electronic you would still have just as much coming in as you do now.

What do you give your kids for pocket money an fecking IOU?
Do they not own a piggy bank and count their pennies every now and again?

Cash is king when it's gone it's gone and it allows majority of low income families to budget.

It's far to easy to spend virtual cash on a card or phone and we all wonder why credit is such big business!

If your internet isn't working properly then the logical thing to do is fix the internet.

I have an intense dislike for folk who want to force their ways on others, no better than racists sexists or homophones in my opinion

My kids now all work, when they were still receiving pocket money I paid in into the bank for them, they then used a cash card to buy anything they needed, you cannot overdraw on a cash card unless you have an overdraft facility with the bank. It taught them the value of money, more so than a pile of coins would. They are all as tight as the Dutch.
Low income families can just as easily use a cash card as they can cash, there is no difference, cash cards are not credit.
What do you pay your kids for pocket money? Groats?

Sometimes that is what has to happen for slow learners, it took around 80 years for the UK to go decimal and then it was only because the old pounds shillings and pence were taken away.

Not easily done when your business is selling produce at markets and fairs usually in the back of beyond. It might work in your bubble but please dont tell me how to run my business. If people budget 50 euro for food, and bring 50 with them, they wont live beyond their means
