Whitecap Owl Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 WOW - That's an interesting move. Now you have to send your 8 year old to the concessions with your credit card!!! YAY Over here, the Whitecaps have implemented Credit Card and Cash only this season (no bank card transactions)... Of course there are several pricey privately owned (i.e. ridiculous fees) cash machines in the stadium.. That's just the way things are going nowadays... In fact I only carry cash for "emergency use" (power outages etc)... Some retailers around town don't like taking cash either... despite it being "legal tender" LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrig Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 On the flip side, imagine the surprise I had on the tram when I was told it was cash only and I couldn't pay by card. Had to download the app and buy a ticket that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I only carry cash now if I go out on the lash in town, and that’s only so I know its time to go home when it runs out. Apart from that I get everything on card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Royds Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It is easier to go cashless but what happens to the young kid that's save his coins to spend at the ground. Have those days gone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 You have to move with the times, it's 2019 not 1987. Those moaning about this probably still go to Post office to pay there gas and electric bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you got against individuals who Chose to use the Post office for the payment of gas and electric bills. Surely, it's all about freedom of choice, or do you know better ?

Rogers Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It’s like some people have been transported in time from 1981 and they can’t get their heads around it. Serious mistrust in technology. Contactless has been around for about 10 years hasn’t it! I’d love this thread to continue until driverless electric cars come in. The seller of these cars will probably be burnt at the stake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 My uncle doesn’t use cash machines because he doesn’t think they’re safe, as in he doesn’t trust the other people around him. This rules out the only cash machine in the village he lives in. He has to go three miles into town and get cash over the counter at the bank. To be fair he doesn’t mind doing that in the slightest and he’s a great guy. I’ll pay for him to get a drink on the North, no bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Saturday I had a pint of amstel for £4 in the North stand and it was spot on. I also think that is a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Personally I prefer cash at the match as I know exactly what I've spent once I get home. I just think cashless society is another way of ensuring us minions cant hide anything while the rich will be fine with all there tax fiddles.

Training, technology, and processes need looking at. But for how many extra drinks will be served, the club might not think the expense of these things justifiable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I always remember my Mum being untrusting. She would come out of work at Bassetts at dinner time, to walk up to Hillsborough shops, to queue at the bank to get out money, to go next door to queue to pay the mortgage at the Halifax as it meant the book got stamped. I prefer cashless as whenever I do draw out cash, my kids smell it out and are keen to utilise it on my behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
