[@SpeccyMan]

I quote: "In the UK, businesses possess the right to refuse cash payments. Despite this reality, a common misconception that cash is universally considered ‘legal tender’, and therefore cannot be refused, persists. While legal definitions vary across regions, the UK government, in response to a 2022 petition, affirmed the autonomy of businesses to choose what specific payment methods they accept. Various shops opt for cashless transactions due to cost reductions in cash management. In some cases, this can increase efficiency and diminish risks of theft."

I work on tills in retail. Cash payments are no slower than card payments because frequently contactless payments are rejected and have to be repeated with a pin entry. The change to card payments is not about queues but is about automation and reducing staffing and costs. There will be fewer employees and less customer service interaction. Ultimately in the future you will have a sit down vending machine experience.

[@stunews2903]

The current trend is for outlets not to give receipts. Insist on your lawful receipt, especially when using a card.

Ive noticed that, thay now ask you if you want the receipt , also on the self service tills you now have to tap the receipt option on the screen , if you don't do it within a couple of seconds the option is gone!!

Another part of the psyop so people switch to digital. I'm in France where a couple of years ago the government brought in the rule that we would no longer be allowed receipts (to save paper/energy FFS!!), or at least that's how it was pushed. We can still get the receipt just have to ask, although I've noticed some staff ask or just give you the receipt automatically (like before).

[@johnparnell8571]

Much as I am against the cashless society, I can understand why more retail establishments are going that way. The cost of handling cash is high, given that it has to be counted and kept secure, and then you have the problem of the cost of insurance cover for cash kept on the premises overnight. Imagine the takings of restaurant over a busy weekend and the process of getting those takings safely to the nearest bank, which leads me to the biggest difficulty...finding a bank branch near enough to take it to. Banks are closing branches at a frightening rate, while many are restricting their opening hours. When branches close, so do their ATMs. It is the very closure of bank branches that is making the cashless society a self-fulfilling prophecy. Online shopping is a major accomplice.
