Random Irritations

For donkeys years I've paid my restaurant bills by credit/debit card, but always paid cash for a few pints/rounds in a pub.
Boom ! last week I discovered that in the bar [ side ] of my local bar/restaurant, I can use my touch bank card up to £30 .
From our joint account . Happy days.

I'm a cash man, i hate faffing around with cards etc.

Dont get me started on people paying for drinks on their card or those that get the hump when a certain pub doesnt accept cards and its their round.

How old are you lot? Tap and pay sorts the round out in seconds. No messing about with cash and change. Get with the times.

Think of times you've fumbled about, dropped coins/notes, while trying to count your cash to pay, after you've had a few drinks.
Then the number of times you paid over a twenty for a couple of drinks, then just walked away with them, without waiting for your change.
I know I have, in a few strange places Not directed at you Lord T..

No problem WA. You have just done a great advert for my point about why tap and pay is better than cash. Much easier and quicker.

When businesses stopped offering discount for cash I stopped carrying cash...

No thanks, had it taken off all my cards, makes too easy to get scammed.

Faffing around 🤔

You simply hold your card against the machine 🤷‍♂️

I must be unusual for my age (nearly 70) as I find it far more convenient to use my contactlesss card than faff around with cash.

A neighbour just came knocking on my door asking if I could move my car. Some numbskull had parked right across from me and blocked the road. Twunt!

Because the technology that makes it work as contactless also means it can be read by scanners.

But non-contactless technology is no more secure and cash on the hip can make one more vulnerable to physical theft

In today's society nobody and nothing is secure.
