"At a nu-metal night in Nottingham last Saturday as I was catching up with old friends and the hosts were cash only. Otherwise it would have been many months as I usually bank any cash I get due to preferring my credit card that has cash back. " So you only handle cash because other people pay you with cash? Would you prefer cashless? | |||

But I need cash to give to the kids, or gift in a card.
Not quite the same sending a mate a tenner by BACS for a drink for giving you a hand.
I want Cash to be an option forever.

"When is the last time you used cash? I always carry some cash with me and do use it now and again. But more and more places are cashless. And I do realise I could easily get through a full month without drawing cash out from a machine. Do you know how long you’ve gone or how long was the longest time you tapped to pay or used you phone exclusively to pay for things? Are we going closer to not needing cash? " I just won't use places that are cashless, i pay cash every time  | |||

"Cash is king. Cashless is killing off small businesses. Idcnot be surprised if some shops start charging more for paying card to compensate the charges " They used to but it generally stopped when some of the larger stores phased it out to gain competitive advantage and then it became illegal in 2018. Personally prefer cash and use it all the time unless somewhere is card only but that's rare. I often go out without my wallet so cash in pocket only and also don't always have my phone with me, not that I would ever use it to pay for anything. | |||

My gym is cashless now, DL A business can choose what method of payments it accepts, they can refuse to take cash or they can refuse to take card. " When people say something is legal tender what that actually means is that if you repay a debt with it then you can’t be sued for non repayment. If you repay the debt in some other way (favours for example) then you could, potentially, be sued for non repayment. Like Huggy says, if a business only wants to be paid in coco pops then they are completely free to accept only coco pops as payment. | |||

"XTasia was all cash when we went in Feb, bit of a surprise. Other than that - tattoos and also a lot of the Christmas market stalls when we went to Germany last year wanted cash. Neither of us use it day to day." Were the machines down? 
Because generally my bank statement tells me how many rounds of shots I've ended up getting on nights at Xtasia. 
I rarely use cash. Its a faff. Last time was when I bought something from someone on Facey.

"We seem obsessed with using plastic in this country. "I'd actually argue the opposite. People who use alternative payments don't have a 'card is king/phone is king' mentality. We just do it for convenience. Businesses likewise aren't generally fussed as its usually cheaper and more convenient not to deal in cash (american candy stores, dodgy High St barbers and other common money laundering/tax evasion businesses aside). We don't advocate to stop using cash. We don't try and change anyone else's mindset or put up signs. We don't post inaccurate memes on Facey. We don't circulate conspiracy theories. Even though the Bank of England has long stated that cash will always remain and that even in the event of a central digital currency, cash would continue to be created and circulated, there's this wild notion that there's a hidden agenda to something that is simply a convenient payment method for many. I chuckle when I see 'cash is king'. Especially when said by someone who the day before was moaning that their bank wouldn't lend them any money, or that their leccy bill is unfair because they choose a pre-payment meter over a direct debit. Cash is fine. But it's not the be all and end all. | |||

"I avoid cashless shops....cash is king in my eyes. Using cashless ideals will only benefit the card issuers. " I avoid them too but usually try to tell them politely also that is the reason. They need to know they are losing business by doing that. It is the same with some places, including important services for the elderly and infirm, going online only. It disgrace and is left to me and you to help people we know in those situations. Some don't even have a current account, just the old type building society acvount and their book. Who am I to say they should now stress about all that in the last years of their life. We are getting more and more selfish imo if we encourage and support those practices even if they are convennient for ourselves. | |||

 .
I usually use cash on two main occasions:
1) shopping in charity shops, as some of them still have "COVID" and don't offer changing rooms. So rather than pay with card for things I like the look of, and then wait for about a week to get the money back in my account once I return the item, I'd much rather pay cash, try it on as soon as I can, then return if needed and get my money back straight away.
2) one of my local swingers clubs is cash only. | |||

Firstly it is mathematically inaccurate - as the fee is a percentage of the current value, each subsequent transaction from the first has a lower fee attached. Secondly it assumes there are no costs for cash, despite there being quite a few (insurance, time, banking etc). The difference is one is taken as a cut of the transaction and the other is an additional cost outside of it. Personally I use various payment methods depending on the situation. Initially I'll use the one that saves me the most money (do I get a discount for cash/card), if there is no saving for me I'll use the one they prefer (they know which works better for their business structure), if they don't care I'll use whichever is more convenient in the moment.

"When is the last time you used cash? I always carry some cash with me and do use it now and again. But more and more places are cashless. And I do realise I could easily get through a full month without drawing cash out from a machine. Do you know how long you’ve gone or how long was the longest time you tapped to pay or used you phone exclusively to pay for things? Are we going closer to not needing cash? " Yesterday…. I havnt been to a shop today… but I always carry cash for various reasons … I prefer cash than contactless/card … | |||

"Does anyone know if it’s legal for a business to refuse cash as it’s legal tender? My gym is cashless now, DL " It's completely legal for a business to refuse to take cash , hence why so many do.

"I haven't used cash in many, many years. I was an early adopter of debit card payments and now pay for everything using either my phone or watch. Mrs on the other hand still carries cash and uses it regularly." Can't see my selff widing watch being much good at paying for things, nor my blueand white Nokia. I do have several smartphones but have never contemplated or oganised their use for any sort of financial transactions. Never even scanned a QR code yet. I bought them for calls, texts and tethering computers to so I can keep up with Fab. | |||

"More and more local businesses are encouraging customers to use cash due to a massive increase in card charges. By using cash that business gets the full value rather than the bank and card machine company taking a percentage. For that reason I use cast cash every chance I get but it's not always possible. If anything I would prefer to move back completely to cash " This, small businesses want cash, so I've been taking cash out for them and since so been using cash more at the shops. | |||

"How about the sucropaternalism industry? Can't see the existence of an audit trail caused by cashless transactions going down too well with the donors!" All the more reason to use cash. | |||

"I’m cashless when I can only really take cash out for haircuts, convenance store payments etc. Generally just think about the amount of lose change you must spend/loose/never use during your life " All the loose change goes in a pot and pays for little things. | |||
