Cashless Stafford.

I know the Swan Hotel doesn’t take cash anymore

I have a feeling that The Odeon might not either

Anywhere else we should be boycotting?

Not a dinosaur more a prophet a roll

Honestly can't remember the last time I even paid for something with cash.

I have a book from the 70s which was a satirical prediction of the future that we had coming to us then, I still have it somewhere.

The main thing that I can remember from it was the prediction that prostitutes would be legally required to have a bar code tattooed on them.

Honestly can't remember the last time I even paid for something with cash.

I paid cash , for the first time in ages , for a couple of cards in a small shop yesterday. She held the cash in front of the cctv camera as proof of what I'd given her. Said she did that for every customer , as so many are paying in cash so that they can argue they had given more and needed more change. She uses the rewind to prove to them what they had actually given her. (And while I was in there choosing my cards a woman tried to swindle her, but the cctv caught the con artist out ).

Ship Aground is card payments only.

Book of Revelation says that the second beast will require every man to have a number on his forehead and he will not be able to buy or sell without that number. But is the number of the beast 666 or 616.

Has anyone though of the possibility of making a film from the Book of the Revelation of John? Could be quite a blockbuster.

If 666 is the number of pure evil.
does that make 25.807 the root of all evil?

That's one way to keep us old gits out.
And the single toilet is another.

'666' is my Patient Number at the Pharmacy.

There were a few oldies hopping around cross-legged outside the toilets in Brixham this summer as we waited for the bus . Only card payments accepted at the turnstiles to the loos!

And it's the oldies that NEED the toilets.

 

[staffordjas]

And it's the oldies that NEED the toilets.

I was crossed legged trying to work the bloody screen to get my card payment accepted and the turnstile gate to open!

 

[Gramaisc]

And so few phone boxes when you're absolutely bursting for one...

 

[littleme]

NO! JUST NO TO CASHLESS!

Today I had ti take the cat for an emergency visit to the vets...£150.00, not much to most people, and I was able to pay it, but it meant i needed to release some savings that that money was earmarked for other things...

Would you like a new question?

Siblings birthday?

NOOOOOOOOO

LOCKED OUT OF ACCOUNT.

we will send you a new password by post.....

Post? Snail mail? WTAF?

Phone bank...

Nope it's generated a letter, when you recieve the letter, reply to the questions by post, we will then send you a new password by post once we recieve your reply....there's nothing we can do online.

It will now take about 2 weeks for me to recieve MY savings, that I should have been able to access instantly.


I cannot believe anywhere still uses such archaic practices ...I'm used to online banking and a cashless society, stuff the actual cash, and stuff the royal mail.

I'm so angry it's unbelievable.

 

[Theresa Green]

I believe you

I keep a float of two hundred knickers in a rolled up copy of Sporting Life wedged in my hedge

It’s a bit damp

But that’s knickers for you

We've had to pay cash in pubs a few times lately when card payment systems have crashed. Luckily we have always carried emergency cash for such occasions when out shopping and evenings out as well as for taxis . A few blokes have been raiding their partners handbags for cash to buy their drinks !

As well as the 'normal' bus service , there's a mini bus owned by another bus company that comes round our area picking up as well (only ever us on it, bit scary the first time on my own hoping I hadn't been kidnapped as it was just plain black with a piece of paper saying 'W6' stuck on the window, but used to it now). One driver couldn't work his hand held machine to get the screen back to visa payments for hubby , after he'd done my bus pass on it, so ended up just giving him cash and no ticket. Probably went into his beer money fund...

Yes, and "when card payment systems have crashed" will be the norm with the power cuts this winter so everyone will be paying cash just like worked so well during the 1970s. And service should be quicker without all those electronic tills.

I think it will be considerably longer because staff will have to manually add your bill up.

I don't believe many of them will have retained such skills if they ever had them.

I can see a lot of phones being used as calculators until the power returns or the phone runs out of power.

Then it will be down to pen and paper or fingers and toes.
