A cashless society

[chunkyshanhawk53]

You still buy a newspaper ?

How Dickensian of you.

Based on that you will NEVER be cash-free ya Luddite

Sometimes at weekends. I get the paper through to the kindle app during the week to be fair

No cash sounds horrendous. Theres nowt better than a wallet full of cash and a day on the drink.

 

[Geronimo]

cash is king.
.

It hasn't been king for over 15 years now.

Retailers hate cash because of the hassle of counting it & banking it.

Only people to whom cash is king are criminals - that includes the black economy

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Anyone that doesn't use an Oyster card is a dildo anyway.

Have you got a travel card for all the major cities in the world in your wallet - just in case?

Aye it's called a debit card.

Contactless can be used on most anyway.

 

[dickie mc rich]

buy “Club Dollars” with your card when you go in. I would imagine. Hypothetically speaking

I wouldn’t want to touch them notes like

And ballers like myself... always carry wads of hundreds so I can make it rain...

only kidding

Aye it's called a debit card.

When I got caught out it was about 4 years ago. And the sarky fucka said anyone who hasn't got a Oyster is a dildo, not a debit card.

 

[living in hope]

how far away are we from a place where cash isn’t used?

I always like to have some cash on me, but rarely if ever use it (buying the odd paper from the local shop). Everything else is just tapped these days, quicker and you don’t have to fanny on with change

Apparently Sweden is nearly there

Do you want cash to remain?

No,

 

[JohnAin]

They will in future when that's all normalised. It's becoming increasingly common now.

Is there a black economy issue here? I am neither for nor against, it's a curiosity question.I imagine the TVA/VAT office prefers cards. Probably the fiscal side of HMRC as well.

It sounds as though the sarky fucka was a dildo receptacle. Can I assume he was a Londoner?

A mans not a man unless he has a ton in his pocket.

I only go to London. The rest are shite.

Natwest forcing it through. Some good replies from not that long ago

In what way are they forcing it through? Card payments are now quicker and more convenient than cash ever was, dodgepots like Cash to avoid tax, which is why bitcoin exists

 

[squashjoe]

Cashless society is a con and big finance is behind it. Said no one ever.

Natwest are an irrelevance in global banking

 

[Vinyl Score]

Have none of you heard of data harvesting & targeted advertising? In the near future any weak minded person who buys some high profit low quality product, for example Prime, will be targeted to buy more shite.

What a load of shite.
I was in my local eatery on Saturday night, they had a little chalkboard up reminding people that they still take cash, and so do their suppliers. The previous month they had a £600 bill for transactions taken from cards . It's a f***ing disgrace tbh,vthe banking sector arel making huge profits in the back of this
