np pontefract Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Well, we seem to have drifted a long way from my original point, of freedom of choice in payment. However, it seems to have stimulated Debate and elicited lots of interesting and amusing replies. And that's not a bad thing is it........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with contactless, there was no receipt given, when I asked for one, was told they had no roll, asked for proof how much I had paid, lady put in a code and showed me how much I would be paying for said item, I said, " but that is for a new order" she said " yes, but it's what you paid", "show me the proof" I said, she couldn't. So is it all down to trust that they don't put in the wrong details? If they are going down this road, then at least make it professional.

Rogers Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Can’t remember the last time I paid cash for anything. The people on the kiosk struggle as it is, without having to pull a pint and work out change at the same time. Move with the times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that time, I must have spent Thousands of pounds on Food and Drink inside the ground. To me, a drink of Tea, Coffee or possibly Bovril and a pie, and an occasional Pint is part of what is often called the "Match day Experience". That spending, inside the Ground, has now, sadly, come to an end. It would appear that every kiosk in the North Stand has gone "Cashless". The club are now Refusing to Accept Cash payments.(LEGAL TENDER) I will not be "told how to pay" by the club. I will, of course, continue to purchase food and drink on match days, all of it OUTSIDE THE GROUND...... It’s really not that difficult. If you have a cash card it will most likely be contactless. Ask for a beer, tap your card on the reader, done. How anyone can have an issue with that is beyond me. Of all the things to moan about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Nick Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I got no problem with "cashless", but, electronic transactions allow for an "in", to your accounts, same "in" as you use. So, I use throw-away cards for electronic transactions, but never a real bank-account. My biggest problem with "cashless", is the ability to track transaction history. And you know what that means? It means you are going to be "Coventrated" with sales-pitches by phone, computer, paper-mail...an endless stream of "buy my product." And I might have, bought the product, if the seller didn't invade my privacy. Cash transactions are faster, somebody in front of you always has a problem with their "card", which requires a team of experts from 30 different Nations in order to sort out, and there's always the ever-present possibility of being "hacked." In the end though, "cashless" is a marketing ploy, now the market knows what you buy, how often, and everything about your transactions. Use your "card" and get bombarded, on a nuclear level, with advertisements, every time you turn on your computer, phone, "smart" television, etc. Sorry for the rant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
