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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a retired banker I see this situation from the other side. 1) bank notes and coins are filthy, and unhealthy. Just because it’s in your wallet doesn’t make sterilize it. 2) insurance cost of holding cash on the premises 3) similar to the above, is the potential risk to premises and staff whilst holding cash trough theft, thus also causing an increase in insurance and security.

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 was in Manchester a little while back, went for some food , ordered and offered cash and turns out no cash so just said good day and walked out.

I never ever shop anywhere that doesn't accept cash

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
