Larger stores should have a cash only till, another gripe is with the likes of tesco express, they should have a fuel only till, this would speed things up

So that you only have to get the card out once and get one slip of paper. It's raining outside. They can...

I'm afraid I'm a frequent "piss boiler" as the bar where I meet my friends is right by a sainsburys express with one cashpoint and always a massive queue, so I go in and buy a twix or some gum on my card and get cash back.

I think the only place I use cash now is the pub and taxis, unless of course I'm just buying a newspaper or a can of pop or whatever. For the most part though, I pay by debit card.

Same here...don't like carrying a lot of cash in case I lose it, but try to keep about £20 on my for bits of things. Card payments don't take any longer to me than cash payments - the time it takes to enter a pin is about the same as the time it takes to count up change!

I usually use cash for £20 or less.

But, if i was going to buy a large item like a washing machine or something id revert back to cash so that i get some knocked off. They like to see the notes lol.

When we go to london next week i shall have very little cash on me and i always keep my cards seperate from each othe

Much prefer customers to pay for goods at ours by Card, cost to much putting cash into the bank when your a business

I get your point, we just don't buy anything on credit. We understand that's not an option for everybody, it's just how we do it. Each to their own and all that.

I don't always feel safe using cash points at night, so would rather go into a supermarket for cashback where I can safely put my purse away and do my bag up etc.

I never carry cash, i pay for everything on my card, i find i spend less if i dont carry cash, its easy to just nip to the shop or buy a take away if you have money on you, if you have to go to the cash point to go to the chippy chances are you wont bother, so better for my purse and my hips lol

There is more of a move to using cards and mobile phones to pay for smaller items. Some market traders now also use mobile phone chip and pin apps.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the transactional divorce you get with a card. If you have £20 in cash and that is all you limit what you buy to that £20. With a card it's too easy to spend the £20 earmarked for tomorrow as well.

The stories about very young children running up huge bills by purchasing tokens in games really worries me as the habit of just touching a screen and clicking on yes is being learnt so early. The same habit we are now using for purchasing real things.

Cash for small items, debit card in supermarkets.

Large items on credit card for protection

If it's over a tenner, I tend to pay with plastic.

My big complaint is with companies who charge extra for plastic!

The photocopying/ printing is the fairly easy bit. Getting good paper is the tricky bit.

People don't look at paper money properly, they judge by feel.

What astonishes me is seeing folks queueing outside open banks to use cashpoints (aka drink voucher dispensers) when there's two perfect good, and presumably less likely to have been tampered with, machines standing idle inside the branch.

Lucky you have £10 these days, every time I go to a cash machine its always less than £10 and can't get cash out! So thats why I use my card to buy stuff!

and that's because we have charges and it can vary between credit cards and debit cards what % we have to pay per transaction

Apparently I can wave my card in front of a scanner and not enter a pin in certain places. Only for low value purchases.

Card for pretty much everything, except the market.

Although we don't have a cheque book anymore, so still make the odd large cash purchase too.
