"Maybe Google specific shops that you plan to use to double-check if they're accepting cash or not right now? I plan to go into town over the next few days to two specific shops and I got the information I needed off their websites straight away." It's just places like b&q and all the builders yards around here are pissing me off, because I'm trying to get stuff to work on my house. | |||

The shop assistant said it was her own fault as it was all over there website! The man behind her paid for her cards and gift wrap, i was prepared to do the same. | |||

"At the start of the Covid crisis I drew out a grand in fun coupons just in case. Still got £940 as nobody will take it. And to be honest it’s easier just tapping my card now. If you bank with Revolut I get notifications as I go along so I can keep track of everything. I believe cash will be a thing of the past. " Would you like to sell it to me? I will pay you £500 in bank transfer! | |||

"So cashless shops allow me to pick up goods which have been handled by countless people before me, of which I have no provenence of their cleanliness, which have had countless people breathe cough and sneeze indirectly over them, take them to the checkout, their staff will then handle those same goods, yet will not take coins and notes which have been in my wallet or pockets, away from most sources of infection... Right... " Spot on! | |||

I get paid in cash so I can't see the point in putting in my bank to use it when I already have it ready to hand " Whilst I understand if you get paid in cash it's easier to keep and not put in the bank, it's also not a good idea to have money lying about your house. Even if you prefer to use cash in shops I'd suggest banking the majority of your wage and then lift what you need when required. Also at this time it has been well advertised that contactless is preferred as it involves less contact with others than passing cash about. If you don't have contactless you can still use chip and pin which is still less contact with the staff member. It's about safety. Also the shop may have less G4S collections of cash due to current circumstances. Sadly for you I'd get used to it cos it's only going to go one way. | |||

Its just another look at other objects we touch and pick up with the same germs upon them, my good man! | |||

"I won't use card only shops unless it's online. There's a few shops here only accepting cash if it's the exact amount. Or taking the money and not giving change. The same stupid people wanting a cashless society are the idiots who want self serve tills in shops. " "Stupid people" "idiots". What a lovely man ... | |||

"If we went to random shop, picked 5 random objects and tested them for bacteria or virus, we might get some hits. It we tested 5 random coins, we'd most likely get hits on all 5. They are higher risk. And they are not sitting in your wallet away from infection, they carry infection. It's all about reducing risk not eliminating risk and cashless reduces risk. " Ok still a risk though... My card isn't contactless I have to press on buttons of a card machine, that looks like they haven't been wiped down.... Might as well pass those lovely people my cash.... I'm liking a post from another person who's posted on this thread, and getting roasted for it.... Lol Champion!!! | |||

"I think it comes down to where you live. In London it is becoming very much a cashless world, shops, pubs, transport, etc. When I go see my folks I have to remember to take cash as not everywhere uses card machines. Supermarket shopping is going even more self service. I now don’t have to interact with anyone when I food shop. I use an app as I shop, scan the bar codes, place in my bag and then when I get to the self serve till it scans a QR code from my phone, then I pay with my card and I leave I know there are people worried about scamming etc, that’s why the card I use is separate from my bank account. I transfer money in every month, so if it gets scammed all they get is what is left in the account and it gives me instant updates of when it has been used. Cash won’t disappear anytime soon but it is a changing world " Very true 'tis about location, availability of stores! I haven't had any essential shops refuse cash yet. | |||

"I hate taking cash it’s just a pain in the bum atm & more dangerous as we are self isolating for our daughters health. I get people saying “How much for cash though” They are shocked when I add £10.

S Why bother to stick it in the bank " I fix bikes for a living, 95%+ of my parts are ordered online, my trade accounts are all online or ordered over the phone. We live in the sticks so we even order our food shopping online. Nearest chippy is six miles, nearest decent shopping is twenty four miles, which is also where all the well known fast food outlets are. So cash sits around in a drawer just for a bit of petrol & shopping top ups. & have you ever noticed that with cash it seems to melt away quicker & you don’t appear to have much to show for it?
