Card or cash

Always cash.
If a shop or establishment doesn’t take cash I don’t give them my business from a point of principal.

Not to long ago I was in an establishment where I saw the sign ( card payment only )
I ordered a drink and when the bar tender set it in the bar in front of me I took a drink while he was pouring the other one.
When it came to payment I offered cash which he refused so I continued to enjoy the drink.
Eventually the guy got the message that it was either cash or nothing so cash it was.
It is the monetary currency that we live under.

I use Revolut through the phone and never have to take my wallet out of my pocket. The favourite MO of pickpockets is to loiter around points of sale and watch where their next victim keeps his/her wallet/purse.
I just top up the Revolut account from my highstreet bank account as needed with just enough for a few days.

Coincidence with this thread, yes.
True, yes.
My daughter and her family are just back from holidays in Royan.
All use Revolut for spending money, including her children.
One day last week while our granddaughter, who is 11 years old, was at kids club, our daughter got a message on her phone of a transaction at the campsite patisserie, followed shortly by a second and a few minutes later one from the campsite grocery shop.
Half an hour later she got a call from the campsite reception saying a Revolut card in her daughters name had been handed in.
Our daughter collected the card and went to the kids club, to discover our granddaughter had been there all the time, but hadn't her card.
Next stop was the patisserie where the operator, when shown the timestamp of the transaction on my daughters phone, confirmed the purchase was made by two male youths, gave a good description, but had no cctv.
At the grocery cctv confirmed the identity of the young offenders.
Campsite security found them and their parents were contacted.
Following a theat of involving the police, after some initial hesitancy to accept responsibility for the €18.50 taken from the card, the father took out a €20 note, got it changed to smaller denomination currency, handed my daughter the €18.50 and walked off.

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about what benefits the card, the cctv, and the father as a parent brought to the event.

Do stenaline accept cash lads

It's incredulous that anyone would quibble over a 1 euro ehu charge. Also, would think very few campers, or cars for that matter, would not keep some euro and sterling change on board.

Jamie the way I would get around that for future events would be to put up a sign saying minimum card payment is 1 euro, no exceptions.

Right Tommy, out with it…….
You watch ‘Derry Girls’, right ?

In a suitcase

We have been puntless since we took up motorhomeing ,
Up to 3 or 4 years ago my business was almost exclusively cash but now 60% would be card , GENX just don't get it , they need to be educated !

They have just turned into another shower of ripoff merchants, €60 for a M/H ticket in a stubble field, no cash, tickets only prebooked by cheque or credit card, no changing days, and definitely no refund's, and of course they are quoting Health and Safety,for all this.
Next thing it'll be Ticketmaster.

That's how events have worked since the early nineties.

The ploughing championship have backtracked and seen sense we were told you can now buy tickets at gates but ring and check, imo

You forgot option #3……
Government, they are bowing to pressure from the poly-ticks.

Yeh true, I think them card readers are are 300 sterling per month,

Nope. £20 here.

That was Dojo, it printed receipts, ditched now after a trial, Square is cheaper, email a receipt.

I was recently in a small cafe in Scotland for 2 coffees & a piece of cake.
Card only.
I would have walked out but the missus wanted a cuppa.
They had a tip jar by the till. What was in it? Cash of course.
Needless to say I didn't leave a tip in the jar.
Double standards methinks

If there had been a slot in the tip jar you could have inserted your card
