What do you use cash for?

Beer tokens and barbers mainly. Still need to carry cash for payments less than a fiver as cards are mostly refused in Cornwall for small amounts.

Office Super 6 bet.
Cricket training, although I think I’ve managed to convince them to open a bank account with Starling.

Nothing, can’t remember the last time I withdrew cash!

I only park where I can pay by phone/card or it is free.
My daughter’s school have an online payment system for school dinners and trips.

I will happily walk out of a shop and go elsewhere if they don’t take cards.

Tattoos most places even very famous tattoo shops will do cash only. Only time I even think to have any cash :joy:

The local buses where I live don’t take contactless. Intalink does have an app, but you have to pre-select the destination. Why they don’t have contactless readers I’ll never know, it would be so much easier.

I dread my mortgage renewal asking for a statement, my friends and I tend to put…odd references to each other.

My latest one received from my friend was for 10 chicken nuggets. My friend tagged it as ‘40TB of porn’.

I dislike cash and generally only use it for my local takeaway (which is rare) and on my bi-monthly trip to the barber.

The Chinese takeaway round the corner.
The monthly office charity donation.
Certain parking meters.
Weekly volleyball practice

Everywhere else I go now takes card.

car wash and parking

Going to the rugby… literally the only thing I require cash for.

Everything else either has an app or takes card :smiley:

Far too many things. I really dislike it and wish payment processors didn’t sting small businesses so much that they felt cash is still the only way.

The only thing I use cash for is my nights out at the Ice Hockey.

Braehead Arena refreshments are cash only, which for a 3000 odd capacity entertainment venue in 2019 is pretty shoddy…

That’s why you take food and drink with you! (Plus means you can add some booze to your coke! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)
