Finding staff that won't remove cash from the till is a modern day task not worth taking on. Cheaper to lose trade.
@@HoofHearted314 that’s not a new problems. A Cashless society thaf allows complete domination and control of your every move, that’s a new problem.

Not anymore, only 1 in 10 bricks n mortar sales are paid in cash. Much better by card.
@@zakmckracken8544 Bye, Bye to your freedom to spend your money how you please.
My local butcher has a sign saying 'cash or we add 6% cos thats what they charge us.'
Your butcher is either lying or finacially dumb, one of the two.
Under consumer rights, limitation of surcharge, they are not allowed to charge differently for different payment methods. The fact they have a sign up, is just daft. If they are that bothered about cards, they should just refuse them.
He's actually not allowed to do that.
@@StudentDad-mc3pu Presuming the local butcher is in the UK; not the same laws in the US
yeah - that is no longer permitted, but on top of that 6% is very high.
A cashless society is a very ripe society for tyranny.
Wait till you find out cash is simply paper only given worth by,,, *checks notes* ... the government.
Pol Pot was well known for his advocacy of contactless.
'Will go hand-in-hand with extant woke totalitarianism then.
See China
cash is just paper, if the goverment desides one day that its not worth anything then its not woth anything thay dont need a cashless society to do that, so unless you have your money in gold....
If paying for a meal tell them you only tip in cash but as they dont accept cash they get no tip
If the person in question relies on tips for part of their income then they absolutely do not have any control whatsover over the actual decision to not accept cash, so at that point you are just adding an extra insult to the frontline staff who are already bearing the brunt of the aggro that has come from someone else's decision.
That's an excellent way to get out of tipping, not that i ever tip anyone 😂

they have already charge it to your card via that item called service charge!
@@GuacamoleyNacho a good reason to stay away from card only restaurants.
We were shopping in Sainsburys recently when a computor fault occurred. They were begging customers to pay in cash.😂😂😂😂

Have you been on a long train journey, where the card handset can’t connect (cos it’s a long tunnel or in the middle of nowhere)? The staff just wish that they could get cash instead. It’s very hard for them!!
Look what happened to the Canadian truckers, who had their bank accounts frozen by Trudo. This is the start of a dangerous situation. The day will come when the government will decide how you spend your money
Or whether you can spend it or not.
& if you spend it on the wrong things, just -10 points from your social credit score.
Oppose the authorities, get locked off.
Truckers? You misspelled racist redneck inbred terrorists.
YOU can’t buy that cream cake your medical records have been cross referenced and you are overweight and may become a burden on the state, no petrol for you mate you have used up your allowed carbon footprint last week.
Cash is privacy, CBDC is about control, boycott any cashless outlet.
Question, who is spying on you, specifically? No bank or business is targeting you as an individual.
If you’re privacy focused on this topic and use a card ever, you’re a hypocrite, you have to say when you pay by card you’re willingly risking privacy. Yes, cash is technically non-traceable, but it’s not as nuanced as that.
@@lewisgregory769 Question why are you clueless?
Absolutely! Cashless businesses are lubricating the slippery slope to tyranny. Trudeau won’t be the last to weaponise the baking system against those who disagree with him.
@@lewisgregory769 You've focussed on the wrong part of the comment - although it is correct, cash is privacy. Using a card is not 'hypocrisy' because it is still, atm, an option when buying in person. The pertinent part of the comment is that CBDC is about control - or to be more precise, TOTAL control of people's lives as it is programmable and I understand the plan is also to make it have an expiry date. One their website, the WEF were (a couple of years ago) selling it as parents being able to have it programmed so that their children can't buy sweets, but people, not as stupid as they think, realised the banks/corporations/governments can have THEIR money programmed so they cannot buy anything the government doesn't approve of. CBDC is neo-feudalism that will turn the populace back not to peasants, who had a degree of autonomy, but serfs, who had none.
Most pub's and clubs are going cashless
They won't accept, until the Internet goes down. Then oh boy they will.
Funny because the internet is not needed to take card payments.
Nice point though
@@Liberty_Freedom_Brotherhood funny, it is for my business.
@@gomes3332 Isnt for mine i only need a phone signal to take cards, chances of internet and phone signal going are pretty slim!
I know of a pub fairly local to me that had a policy of not taking cash. It is now closed.
Use it or lose it, if they get CBDC in we will all regret it.
Never forget we may have a fully ethnic government in the future, Never assume that all types of government are benign!!!!!!
My personal opinion is the owner,/operator of this bar does Not trust his/her staff and so should not themselves be trusted.
Here in Ireland 🇮🇪, cash only is very common and I'm happy to oblige them,when I want to give one my three scallys something for a day out I don't feel a transfer cuts it like cash.
CBDC is in effect now, that happened the day they forced wages into the private banking system
@@anthonyberry9132 I wish we had cash only businesses, good luck to you guys over there fight the power we see you and I hope we learn from you too
If CBDC is introduced it will not replace cash, it will work alongside cash.

Ohh check out Mr big here
I had a similar problem with a new butcher recently. When they first opened I bought some meat off them and paid cash and it wasn't a problem. A week or so later I went back and they refused to take cash anymore. They lasted about 2 months before shutting down.
Look how a cashless society would have benefited the Canadian truckers. It's the ultimate in government control.
Let’s vote with our feet. A cashless society is a hideous prospect. Avoid cashless businesses or risk our freedom. Literally.
if your card does not work for some reason how do you even get even change for a bus.
Nah! Not having to carry cash is much better than the alternative.
Only 1 in 10 transactions are made by cash now, you've already lost lol.
@@andydudley1775 I think this is somewhat unrealistic though, it's a pretty rare situation at best!
Look at it this way:
If your card doesn't work, can't you visit a bank to get money out? Or an ATM?
Or maybe Google Wallet/Apple Pay works? Or vice versa.
How about PayPal's contactless payment? This should charge your PayPal account then your card at a later date, allowing you to resolve the issue another time.
Cash is easier to lose, easier to leave at home, easier to have the wrong amount of on hand, etc. - Is it worth the trade-off for that one time your card/phone isn't working?
I've been totally cash-free since lockdown times when businesses started refusing cash, it's extremely rare I come across a situation where I needed cash. I've visited France, Belgium, and the Netherlands several times over the past few years and never needed cash there either. Actually, didn't even need to convert any cash, just used Google Pay everywhere without issue.
I'm not saying there will never be issues, I'm just saying that 'personally' I don't find the trade-off worth it considering how reliable contactless/card payment has become and how widely accepted it is.
@@MaximilianBerkmann I work in a hotel, a guest had their credit card stolen .. they realised and cancelled the card within roughly 1 hour .... in that hour over £1000 had been spent on it, the alternative is losing £20 if your wallet goes, I know which I would prefer
No cash. We want your data . Obtaining data............ all for a quiet pint . Do not trade with them .
Back to the stone age you go.
@@SB-hr5yr Yea all those fifty pound "stone age" notes they keep finding are really bothersome.
The only useful data is gathered by your bank in that you made a purchase in a pub in Winchester. So the "do not trade with them" in relation to data harvesting would be your bank.
Well i suggest you go look at louis rossman about banks data harvesting and using it in this very way.
If people like you (artiodactyla) stood firm instead of rolling over because you don't have a spine.
And walked away from such establishments.
And ONLY used cash, then there would not be a problem.
Either accept cash, or go bust!...
Going cashless only - turkeys voting for Christmas. Beware what you wish for...
I have lived in what the conspiracy nuts like to call a "cashless society" with the double whammy of "15 minute city" added on top.
And it absolutely isnt an issue all in a country with a much higher freedom metric than the UK. Nobody is stopping money getting taken out of the bank, but private business can transact how they want.
The local massage parlor tried a no cash policy; the customers stopped coming.
funniest comment i have seen for a while!
😂😂😂
Very interesting point ! I know of one marriage which came unstuck due to 'massage services' coming up on his credit card statement. Not a joint name card, but, women turn into Sherlock Holmes when there's a whiff of sexual impropriety in the air ! I'm against a ban on cash, by the way. Always knew that the scumbags would use 'money laundering' as a pretext to break through the doors of our privacy. All the best in the brave new world !
Idiot ……
No happy ending then?
I did an experiment for just one month using cash only, so no internet shopping and I ended up being roughly £300 better off due to it stopping me purchasing things of the internet and when I wanted something I had to go to town and buy it.
It just showed me how loose my spending is via the net.
Well that's hardly a pro "cash only" story and your lack of impulse control.
Fair enough for your thoughts, but it was a thought on how easy things have become.
In a way it has both pros and cons, one thing I didn’t miss is the change, I gathered a fair bit of change which you had to keep in your car because do you know how hard it is trying to get on the pound while at the petrol station, so much pressure when you know you can’t just swipe 😂
But this control thing via our banks and 3rd party has been around for sometime.
Unfortunately I cannot see how we can keep money alive, I still take a few hundred out in cash each month, but the banks / authorities keep making cash machines disappear.
@@davidthornton3346 Yes, but also the tools make it easier to gain or lose impulse control. For example kids with ADHD have their impulses worsened by things like TikTok and other instant-gratification of social media (it's to do with the constant dopamine reward)
I generally don't carry cash, by the way. But I do think the tools as well as the impulse control are inexorably linked
@@landzwI do this also. I feel like I spend less when I’m doing physically handing it over
@@davidthornton3346 I think the point he was making is you have more control instead of just tapping left, right and centre like it's on tap. 😊
Unfortunately, the government allows them to do it. And people are blindly walking into a cashless society.
Yep. As they choose too.
So you only pay cash?
Uapjedi - a mix of cash and card is fine - what’s your point?
Not only allows them, but actively encourages it.
@UAPJedi 90% of the time, I use cash. I'm not supporting this World Economic Forum backed cashless society.
Vote with your feet, people - if they won't take cash don't use their services.
Which means less queue or people around in those places, so good for me.
Carrying cash is largely pointless nowadays except for some league events, some car wash services, and helping out homeless people.
@@MaximilianBerkmann My God! It's true, a fool and his virtual money are soon parted. LOL

Don't give the staff a hard time, just spend your money somewhere that isn't trying to make us cashless.
You have to held them accountable - with due respect and without getting personal.
First it's their job and secondly, they are the link between customer and the management or owner of any business.

I was in line at a coffee shop at uni. Cold rainy day, lots of people in there. The weather knocked out the cc machines so they announced cash only. I walked past ten stunned people. Paid, ordered, got my coffee while the rest of the place milled around uncertain about what to do.
About a year ago.
We were in a pizza establishment.
And same thing. When it came to paying the bill.
No cash payments!
We are old school and only carry a debit card if we think we might need to use it for larger items or at the bank itself to withdraw money.
Anyway l offered the cash and they refused.
They just said they would write the bill off.
They could tell we were genuine as we only spent about £25.
So now we double check that cash is allowed.
If it isn't then we give our money to someone else.
You can use this for free pizza. You could also do the inverse of this for free prostitutes. Once you're done, pull out the Mastercard and ask for her card reader. She says it's cash only - you go "sorry m'lady, I use the credit card for everything".
I run a small business and am happy to take any form of legal payment, as I'm not in a position to be fussy any form of payment is better than no payment!!
The problem arises when you become a big business with multiple outlets and tills. Not from customers, a proportion of which will always try to steal from your shops, but from dishonest and clever staff with their hands in the till. There are ways of managing this but none are perfect. The only real answer is to go cashless. Whether you do or not, as a shop owner, is entirely up to you.
I don't run any business beyond private sale of my surplus items, but I'm always happy to accept payment in Euro, USD and JPY as well as Sterling. It benefits me as I don't like having all of my cash in one central bank, and it benefits my customers by giving them a way of exchanging their spare holiday money for something they want and giving me something I'd like in the process! 😇
And let's face it: One can accept entirely non-fiat forms of payment if they wish, can't they? 🛍
When I was in London, and went into shops that refused cash, I said: "No cash, no customer" and I walk out, and NEVER go back, EVER.
I fill the basket/trolley up, offload at the counter and when they refuse cash... I just say sorry and walk out.
Bet they was gutted.

@@zakmckracken8544 As said-load up the trolley or order a huge amount oif drinks and just walk out if they dont take cash.
We are experiencing a very rogue government. It's actions are that of a sick number of politicians and a sick priminister. the government need to be dealt with as such. Peaceful non-compliance is what's called for here. Do not entertain establishments that don't take cash.
@@DM-ur8vc I really think you need to do some deep thinking and some basic research. The government of the UK has gone rogue and has been for many years. And banking is just a tiny string to the government's corrupt bow.
Terrifying. I try to use cash everywhere. If we lose it then it’s game over, everything we do is tracked and they could stop your card if they don’t agree with what you are buying. Very worrying. Cash is King
On this very subject I had to smile to myself the other week; told when paying for a meal in a resteraunt it was cashless only, but later noticed a jar behind the counter labelled "tips", containing several coins and notes. Some want it both ways.
I think that's maybe a misconception. Do you really think that the cash or tips you pay digitally go to the waitress/cooks/etc? I think that's why there's a tipjar, so that the waitress/waiters and other hard working staff get the opportunity for a tip
@@xTerminatorAndy I thought the same. I'd much rather leave some cash for hard working waiting-staff, but I increasingly find I'm not carrying any.

Ask them to bring you the tip jar, and then just dip your card into it and say 'You're welcome'.
Lets say we're in a cashless society. If you do something 'wrong' (including opposing the authorities by peacefully protesting, or whatever), the authorities can then freeze your acccount and you then can't pay for anything. George. Orwell.
That's why scum like Tony Blair are desperate to bring in digital payments.
Are you really that ignorant? A bank account is exactly the same whether or not you only spend cash on the high street.
happened in canada during the trucker protests and even people donating to them had their accounts frozen, some accounts are still frozen to this day or how about both germany and austria during convid they both were floating the idea of the unvaxxed having their bank accounts frozen and being fined 3000 euros if they refused to get vaccinated

I was hungry in town one night so I went to Domino's as it was at the edge of the car park. I made my order and went to pay, and then they told me they do not accept cash. I left the shop. I have never even been tempted to buy from Domino's again and I never will.
I wish I had enough cash to be able to pay for a Domino’s pizza.
You were hungry, you refused to pay by card and left. You were still hungry.
I'm sorry, but who's the loser in this scenario? Cos it ain't Domino's. Shooting yourself in foot here...
Domino's menus are an absoute confuse-opoly of the highest order anyway. You can order the exact same items as someone else and pay a substanially different price depending on which of the 6-8 concurrent offers on the menu you tell them to apply. Unless you are
a) pedantic enough to work out the price via every one of the different offers and then pick the best price, and
more crucially b) stone cold sober and thus capable of actually doing said calculations (and keeping track of the potential prices you've already calculated)
then you will very likely realise afterwards that you could have paid somewhat less (or even, in some cases, a lot less) than you actually did for those items.
Most other businesses ensure their tills apply offers the same way every time on the purchase of the same comibination of items, so that everyone buying the exact same things will pay the exact same price as each other. Also most other businesses do not deliberately run multiple conflicting offers concurrently and expect you to choose which offer you think works out best.
@@DavidHamm-fb7nx 🤣🤣 same.
@@davidthornton3346 You're the kind of person who, in 20 years time when your bank is charging you a fee on every transaction as there is no cash, will complain bitterly when it's too late but won't do anything to attempt to stop it ahead of time because to do so would be a minor inconvenience for you right now.
For those who are unaware of what a CBDC is (central bank digital currency) and what it will allow that standard fiat currency banknotes and coins cannot, here is a short list and it is pretty sinister!
1. Customized for individuals
2. Can be frozen or seized
3. Air travel can be restricted
4. Tax can be automatically taken
5. Fines can be automatically taken
6. Purchases can be controlled
7. Expiry dates can be applied
8. Limits on spending can be set
9. Location limits can be applied
10. Food purchases can be rationed
Not a place we ever want to go! The government claims it has no plans to program any future CBDC or restrict how money is spent but the fact that this is still a possibility with a CBDC should be enough to set off red flags and alarm bells for anyone with half a brain to realise that it is a terrible idea. The fact that these things can be done with a CBDC means that they highly likely will be done at some point
Then once that's in place, debt laws will be changed so they can just farm your account for any monies owed, or give you a custodial sentence.
There is a simple answer dont visit places that do not take cash. Do not use cards.
The young lady seems so proud to do this, let’s boycott these kinds of businesses, cash is king
Once in a major pizza restaurant that refuses to take cash. I upset the manager by saying that I believed that the staff must have been stealing cash from the business which is why they only took card payment. The lady got very defensive and said it was not for that reason. My reply was that there is no smoke without fire. She said she felt very offended by my comment and asked me to leave.
I said no problem, I would go somewhere that my cash was welcome and left.
No, she’s probably just fed up of dealing with some obnoxious person who is determined to make her out to be a supervillain just because they thought that the sign saying “CARD ONLY” didn’t apply to them.
Similar thing happened to me. I'd ordered £50 of drinks & they refused cash & there was a credit card sized sign behind bar.
Said, well tough for you, we all only got cash & walked out.
Lady ? merely a female .
I'd be proud not to serve the phone-wielding idiot, cash can be king elsewhere.
More and more establishments I've come across are asking for payment WITH cash, and are now refusing to accept card payments below a minimum spend level. Good for them I say. Cash is King!
If any establishment I go into refuses cash then I simply jog on to the next place that will. Lets not hand over our spending freedom to a tyrannical government who is hell bent on the total control of our lives. SAY NO TO THE Central Bank Digital Currency! Cash is King !!

The Cashless Society: The Govt fined you £50 by deducting your digital wallet because they wanted to. How are you going to argue with that?
@@amazer747 I mean, even in a cash society our tax payments are largely automated, right?
You may pay for things in cash, but your income tax is typically deducated from your payments before you even get them, the government still controls what you're paid and I also highly doubt you have all your earnings in cash right now, what about your bank?
I totally understand the concern, but I think no matter how you look at it, the way you pay for a problem is just one problem of many.
And I've had my car broken into and my backpack with my purse stolen - but I've rather have all that goes with cash, including the negative, than programmable CBDC which gives the banks TOTAL control over your life through your 'money' which, I understand is part of the plan, will carry an expiry date, so no saving to help your kids in the future.
@@amazer747They can do that anyway. Easy enough to apply an attachment of earnings even in a cash-based society.
A post office once gave me 2 fake £50 notes. I went back an hour later to complain after a shop refused them....they denied it and confiscated the fake money! Grate Britain!
To those who have no clue it cost a business to actually bank cash, particularly somewhere like a night life venue, pub bar ,restaurant ect it would also mean someone having to transport cash to a night deposit safe which most banks used to have outside the premises for their outside entrance but as most banks have closed 90 % of physical branches that means in my home town the only remaining branches are in pedestrian area who wants or is trusted enough to walk to deposit cash in the early hours bearing large amounts of cash , so for bars to operate cashless isn’t that unusual
Boycott cashless establishments.
There’s a good saying in situations like this.
Speak with your wallet.
If a company refuses cash, do not support them.
Go somewhere that does take cash.
The companies that want to deny cabs and therefore reduce payment options will soon regret it and possibly lose business to those who offer more options.
And that is your right. Same as any business has the right to decide how they will accept to be paid.

The simple solution is to avoid anywhere that does not accept cash as a payment.
I also want to praise The King & Queen as I understand they like to carry cash just in case. Remember, don’t give up your cash money. When ANY government wants you to go totally digital with your money, It’s because they want absolute power over you. You have the right to say NO to bigger government and start fighting back.
Yes a bar has chosen not to accept cash because of a government conspiracy. Why do youtube comments have so many loons?

So it's legal for business to essentially ban the poor, the elderly, the mentally handicapped and anyone else that can't use plastic? That may technically be legal, but it is clearly not morally acceptable.
Correct
No one has banned anyone. The elderly excuse is bs, bank cards have been around for over half the lifetime of anyone alive nowadays, basic bank accounts are available to anyone, even the poorest in society, and how is using cash any different than using a contactless card for someone who is mentally handicapped, if anything it allows for better budget control as you can easily use limits for contactless spending etc? Chip and pin has been around for 2 decades, contactless payments for 15 years, credit cards in 1966 and debit cards in 1987. Why do people make such obviously ridiculous statements trying to use age as an excuse for things without doing the maths? Unless someone is over 74 they have had bank cards for over half their life.
I'm poor and elderly; in what way does that prevent me from using a card? I prefer the card, as it means I don't have to bother with handling change and carrying cash.
@@petesmitt You of course can do whatever you choose, a lot of people are manipulating certain aspects to suit their agenda,

Its ashame ya can't buy a pint without your bank, credit card company & god knows who else knowing about it....
You do know the details of the purchase, ie the items you bought, are not collected in the bank transaction? Its probably a good idea some don't have a bank account and have a little money purse instead.
@zakmckracken8544 that would be nice but bank accounts are compulsory......
You can't live otherwise
@andyley329 that's right, your bank account has a simpler and safer method of transferring money we have been using for 40 odd years! If you don't have a bank account you are choosing to opt out of modern society, for no good reason whatsoever.
@zakmckracken8544 thats the point! We don't have a choice......
Giving away your private life and so common in this unthinking society that we have, full of sheep
For all those extolling the benefits of using cards or digital phone apps to make payments be very careful what you're doing. There is little doubt of the benefits of using cashless payments "FOR NOW", the problem with this will ultimately reveal itself when the "powers that be" unleash a completely cashless system. Now imagine when that day comes and it's decided by those same "powers that be" they don't want anyone purchasing certain items, this maybe collectively or as an individual. So on that day it's decided that vehicle fuel cannot be purchased or say a holiday abroad or alcohol or meat. In fact any product or service that they deem fit. That is when the realisation will hit you firmly in the face that they now have complete control over when, what and where you spend your digital cash.
Giving a load of different apps your private details, what could possibly go wrong?
If we are going down that road, would you not simply buy these things with crypto? Where there is demand there is an opportunity to provide the service.
@geoffhaylock6848 which is why they are simultaneously trying to ban crypto.
Governments don’t need to mess around with the payment system to ban the sale of something they object to, they can just ban it by law. You’re being pointlessly paranoid.
No cash, no custom.
Remember anything electronic can be turned off.
It is the customers fault because of their laziness using plastic instead of cash. Wait until the central bank digital currencies get mandated. Control of your money, freedom and privacy are gone.
Cash is literally paper only given value by the government lol
If any business refuses cash don't use them. Simple as that.
So what are you going to do in about 3 to 5 years time When there is NO CASH available. As already around 30 percent of establishments in the UK anyway already dont take cash, and the banks are gradually withdrawing cash from the system. There simply Wont be any cash in a few years time, as there will be No ATMs, and banks will Not have any cash in them and it will be withdrawn from the system. So what are you going to do then ???. Wake up sadly its happening, and fast.
Why? Unless you're a drug dealer, homeless or a tax evader there's been no reason to use cash for the past 20 years. Are you still boycotting companies that don't have a place to park your horse?
If any business refuses cards, don't use them. They are avoiding tax, just like you libertarian nutjobs.
That's what a dodgy/tax-dodging/fraudulent person would say.
@MegaAztec69 Wake Up? Sounds like your on the side of the globalist egomaniacal control groups. I on my own can do only what I suggested, boycott. But if people do a simple thing like not use digital trading it will at least slow it down. There may be an inevitable seismic change coming. Doesn't mean we've got to make it easy for them...
I'm absolutely fine with any business deciding how they take payment. All that means for me is that if cash is not an option, they won't get MY business. I'm the same with self scan checkouts. If I wanted to scan items, I'd work there. I expect to be served. Retailers trot out the line about redeploying staff from tills to other areas of the store but that's a lie they tell to justify why you're scanning your own shopping.
I would propose a petition to make it legally mandatory for shops and businesses to accept cash, but if petitions could actually achieve something, they would be illegal.
ironically you'd probably do that petition online and no-one would sign it because all your fellow luddites wouldn't know how to.
@@DekedenceThat or counter petition to make this farce of a petition look stupid.
You should always carry some cash no matter what. The amount of places that cannot accept crad payments when you go in because of an internet problem etc is getting ridiculous.

Chinese fish and chip shops.

@@geoffhaylock6848 I think the real question is, can the worker accept it regardless? In my case as a weighbridge operator this was a very clear no.
I have never, in the last 25+ years of using a card, had "Internet problems", if so is very rare.
I never ever shop anywhere that doesn't accept cash
Why is this happening in the UK. You can pay cash anywhere here, and plenty of bars, cafe and even some shops say cash only. The UK is getting weird these days. What if you don't have or don't want a card or even a bank account, is there some human rights issue that says you can't be excluded from society?
" is there some human rights issue"
No, a retailer can just not enter into the contract of sale. Nothing to do with rights.
@@Bozebo Interesting as I believed that some businesses at least, are under a legal requirement to make services available to all.
Raises a very interesting ethical point regarding establishments that sell life essentials such as food, water and medicine.
If someone doesn't have a bank, which citizens don't have to have (or can be debanked), and their local shops refuse to take cash, how on earth is someone supposed to get life essentials for themselves.

I have heard that some small businesses are returning to cash only due to the cost of the card transactions.
Banks generally charge businesses more for cash deposits than for processing a card payment.
They do it, to avoid declaring everything.
If I go to any establishment and it’s no cash I walk straigh back out and go somewhere that takes it even if I’m intending to pay by card. I don’t believe in not accepting cash so I refuse to support businesses that do this.
Australia is the same... more and more places forcing the agenda upon us by refusing cash. 😢
What annoys me the most is that in Oz, retailers can charge a gouging "processing fee" for using plastic cards (usually around 1.5% give or take).
That's why cash is still preferred by some of us... but as I said, it is getting harder to fight as the retailers and banks push the cash free agenda. The government won't help us neither; Too spineless.
The more cards are used, the more banks will make money. CBDC is creeping closer and closer. We won't have control over our money.
Choose to believe it or don't your choice. It is happening.
UK banking is already trying to implement it.
When we go cashless we will be at the mercy of bank bail ins and no more runs on dodgy banks
@@andywatts8654 I think it'll be opposite. Because they'll have more sway they'll do more of what they want.

It's why cash is being discredited. Try spending a £50 note anywhere. You're made to feel like a criminal.

Being so overly reliant on technology seems unwise to me. All it takes is a bug, technical malfunction or hacker and your business is stuck.
And this is happening more and more.
Already happened .sever times
Not to mention the extra fees they incur just to do it "digitally"
Even the people behind all the technology can just switch it off anytime, which is what they do constantly to dissidents of the system. Smart meters are another nefarious method of controlling people.
Finally a take I can get behind! One of the very good reasons to not rely solely on digital payments
One aspect of this I haven't heard anyone addressing is that this forces people into contractual/financial arrangements with a 3rd party. If you're living hand-to-mouth in this economy, why keep a bank account to get a card just to have to pay a monthly or annual charge for not being able to keep a minimum balance, don't get paid by direct deposit, or other random charges.
I'm visiting a venue 4 times this year, I've attended once, so three visits left and they don't take cash. I'll be visiting a pub just over the road from the venue and they do cash or cashless payments plus their drinks are about 48% cheaper than in the venue. The pub gets lots of customers attending the venue going in before and after the events. The price of a pint will be around £8.40, it was £7.50 last December when I attended for the snooker last year.
I used to attend another venue, since closed down and they charged £5.50 for a bottle of beer I could get for £1.25 in Aldi or Lidl at the time.
In a cashless society, we are all slaves, granted or deprived of our money at the whim of software, hackers, bureaucrats, bankers, and the government.
We need a law that enforces the cash option in all customer-facing situations.

I was refused service in a pub in Nottingham a few months ago because I only had cash. My mate paid with her card, against my wishes, I wanted to walk out. We have to make a stand before it's too late.
So to summarize, the law is as bent as the banks. Refuse this cashless society, or forever harbor deep regret when all your freedoms vaporize.
They are vaporising at a rapid rate. The way society is moving to complete control by big business and Government is the only factor that makes me feel ok about getting older and realising that no longer can freedom be taken for granted as it was in our younger days.
@@paullewis2413 Yes I totally agree. My future is not in the UK now I've come to realise. I'm grateful as I don't have children, so the move for myself would be a lot simpler. Others will struggle when they come to terms with the demise of our country. Most people are blinkered to it all.
The real underlying issue here is that a large majority of people 'upholding' this sheer lunacy do so with either arrogance or a smirk. (Or both!)
Probably because they're sick of idiots who don't understand the law harassing them for policies out of their control. If you guys stopped this "muh legal tender the coin of the realm" shit people might find you less annoying.
But they have customers, so they can't be the underlying issue. The underlying issue is the customers that make it all possible. AKA people getting on with their life.
@@eroero830exactly, I haven't been carrying cash as years. Card everywhere, and credit card at that. The section 75 protection is worth it.
I understand this part of law well enough that as soon as they say they don't accept cash, I'd just look at my friend/family-member/etc and say, "lets go to [known to be over-priced place] instead as they accept cash", then look at the cashier with the b!tchiest smirk going.
I'd make sure I'm the first to give attitude.... Did that during lock-down when pubs just started opening expecting cashlessness and smart-phone scanning (I got a motorola flip-phone I still had after many years, I took it with to ask obnoxiously to people, "OK install the app on my phone and stop discriminating on people who aren't technical", lol)
@@dedr4m You must be fun at parties
When businesses don't accept cash, ask for a copy of its terms and conditions and privacy policy, with a list of vendors that receive the data.
Someone I know has had this happen also recently. They thought the staff member had a personal issue with them at first. I think it was in a major chain store. I suspect some companies are slowly being encouraged to introduce it at random, simply see it as a way to save, or never switched back after covid. With major chains, introducing cash only in random stores at first, may help to try and avoid too much media attention. Until the supermarkets catch on at least. Then the protests will begin, unless at that point it's too late. Wait until your bank account is frozen because of something you've said on social media, with no backup physical cash to rely on. Laugh now, but...
If they call the police and say you've made off without payment, I guarantee the police won't respond. They dont respond to theft in the store i work in so they arent chasing people for that.
Same here in Australia, businesses don't have to accept legal tender.
Thankfully they really love accepting legal tender.
Use cash, cashless society = digital prison
If a pub doesn't take cash, I'm walking out and that pint is ullage.
I remember back in the 1980s in a pub in England buying a round for my army mates, (about 6)
Pints were poured and quickly grabbed and began supping.
I handed the barmaid an Ulster Bank £20 note. Well, she nearly fainted...What is this foreign currency, i can't accept this. I laughed and told her it was pounds sterling. She had no idea what to do and called the manager. He was a really nice bloke, told her to accept it, and hopefully there would be more in the till by the end of the night.
There was :D
Scottish notes are generally accepted in the north of England, but the further south you go, the less common it is to encounter those notes, and the more likely they are to be refused. My local post office no longer accepts Scottish notes. Ulster notes are so rare in England that most people wouldn't know a real one from a fake.
I used to work in a supermarket in southern England a couple of years ago and one of the managers called me into the office to ask me about a banknote that came in, asking me if it was fake. The till workers weren't the brightest bunch and one accepted a Northern Irish note, which completely perplexed management. It turns out they were completely unaware of Scottish and Northern Irish sterling notes (the same for Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, Falklands, etc.), so me being the resident Paddy I was asked for advice. They're so incredibly rare down here that they might as well have been Punts or Zimbabwean dollars. Despite my reassurances they refused to take it to the bank down the road and exchange it. I mean, even if it were fake (which is possible considering there's at least three different series' in circulation at any given time), the bank would confirm it instantly!
As an older person I do not have credit cards. I do have a debit card. However, I really do not like the banks/government tracking my spending, sorry do not trust either. I always understood our cash was good enough for traders in the UK, maybe we should all refuse to use places that refuse cash, they would either go broke or soon accept cash. What a world when even our hard earnt cash is rejected!
Absolutely agreed, well said 👍
Sadly I haven't been handed a brown envelope with actual cash in for over 30 years. I just see numbers changing on my phone now.
Open another bank account or get one of those travel top up cards using an alias, from what I remember an alias is perfectly acceptable under UK law. I still prefer cash than to bother with that though. Another way is to have a friend with an account buy the stuff for you then give them the money.
@@timbert4672 What's your friend going to do with the money? They won't be able to spend it either 😂
your not missing anything a credit and debit card are 2 different things, the debit card is linked to your bank account for the immediate spending of cash, a credit card is a loan, you have a maximum credit limit and can spend within it, then you have to pay it back at the end of the month or a percentage of it with interest. most people now days only have a debit card because thats what the bank gives them for accessing their account. but a credit card is what you should use for online purchases and things because its an added level of security not linked directly to your bank account, you can get credit cards linked to your bank account but that rather defeats the point of them.
there are hardly any bank branches left for businesses to actually deposit cash. So how can we expect them to accept cash if there is no way of dealing with it.
The lazy who CANT BE BOTHERED to use cash are making cashless a success 😡😡

Yes, it's physical ... but it's NOT MONEY, it's FIAT CURRENCY. It WAS MONEY when it was GOLD and SILVER coins, but now it is just TOKENS. FIAT CURRENCY CAUSES INFLATION; Governments can just print more whenever it suits them, banks lend out more than they have (FRACTIONAL BANKING) and it's the public that pays the price, working harder for less! Think of FIAT CURRENCY like sticky paper gold stars used to bribe 5-year-olds to do their work; Very cheap for the teachers to buy sheets of 100 from shops, but given FAKE 'official value' to the kids. Maybe some smart kids used their pocket money to buy their own sheets. If governments do go cashless, the people will return to trading items to maintain their privacy!

£10 on a card (credit or debit etc) is not the same as £10 in your hand. When it's in your hand .. YOU control it ... when it's on a card the bank controls it and controls ACCESS to YOUR money.
