Let's see at the end of the year how much cash is worth. 'Second wave' will kill no one but the cash society.

I think businesses can refuse to take cash, and only accept card payments, because the goods are the property of the shop, and the owner of the goods can do what he wants with them, but saying that there is a thing called trading standards, and there are laws relating to the sale of goods, but I think that a trader can legally refuse cash, just as a trader can insist on cash only ....

A problem has been that folk want to pay by contactless card, instead of cash, and they are aggronoyed when a business only takes cash

In card shop in Preston today bought card which was less than £1, was giving him the coin but he told me to put it down on the counter, no problem, but he had to get the change out of the till. He didn’t have any gloves on so what was that all about?

Week before last, on the way down to Spain, restaurants and shops at the Eurotunnel, Folkestone side, were all cashless. On the way back, Calais side, cash was no problem.
No cash taken on buses, by the driver, but no problem with cash on the trains, paying the conductor.

????????????

And the Zombies still walk around, masked up, saying nothing!

Pretty all of the shops around here will accept cash or card. but of the small local convenience stores will only accept cash if purchaseis lest than £5 - in these stores those behind the counter with plastic barrier screens and are wearing gloves.
