Or "that's £5 minimum charge on card I'm afraid." Leave it out mate, who the hell carries coins around anymore??
People giving their daughters double barrelled christian names. This isn't the Dukes of Hazard, they are not dolls. These little girls will grow up to be adults and being called Daisy-Mae (not made up), will not help their chances of being taken seriously at work, in life etc.

Why when people offer you a drink when you’re working in their property do only they offerâ€waterâ€?

Are you prepared to pay the fee the retailer is charged for taking your card payment?

They shouldn’t be charged, I know they are, but it’s disgraceful. Country is pushing for cashless then charging through the nose for it
Should be fee free
But then again can use PayPal here and now. Something like 3% for every £1
Rupert has picked up a very annoying habit, goes mental when the postie comes to the door waits for what ever comes through, then runs off with it. on this occasion up the garden.
just had to patrol the whole garden looking for post. 2 bank statements, my Road tax... little ...ker

tried to practice my chipping in the back garden last night. dropped a ball and my dog ran off with it. dropped another and the little bugger had that one as well so I went and watched the tv.
the dog then came and sat on my lap and spat both the golf balls out at me

The retailer gets charged by their bank for depositing cash. They get charged by everyone, the key is to bring in enough money to cover those charges. Not taking card payments in this modern era is restricting your business. In my own town there is a cafe that I don't use as it is cash only whilst the others all take cards. I wont be alone in avoiding them. It's a nice place but not nice enough compared to the others to persuade me to go to the cash machine first just for them. I go weeks now without spending cash.

Trees in your garden for the dog to find them in ?
I would tell you to go forth and multiple but that made me laugh and sadly it's true

Maybe you need to get a provisional dog?

Of course bank charge for taking cash, but as you say you negate that by taking in as much cash in one go as you can. Sadly you can’t do that with card payments, and each transaction sees a charge applied.
I always have a small amount of cash on me, and only use cards for reasonable size purchases, definitely not a topic and can of pop

If a place doesn’t take card just screams tax avoidance or money laundering in this day and age 😂
Tanning place the wife used to use had this policy.. bet HMRC doesn’t see it’s fair share

I'm guessing you mean only takes cash. Yes, you are right it is about hiding money from HMRC. My wifes hairdresser is the same. A womans hairdressers who doesn't take card payments, the prices they charge

So someone won’t get taken seriously because they have a double barrelled first name ?! Sorry but that a pile of rubbish , many people in the UK will have double barrelled first name , especially a lot of Irish people - I have a number of cousins who have double barrelled first names with Anne Marie being a popular one. Really poor to judge people like that
