Only 25% of all payments were made by cash in the UK in 2020. That’s only gonna get lower. Why burden the club with the cost of handling cash when we can invest in the technology needed for contactless? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bank card with one of those contact less chip things on it. I've never used it, and never will. I just go to the hole in the wall and pull out a couple of hundred in cash so I've always got cash to pay for things. Handing over £15 in cash at the turnstile tomorrow is as, quick as paying by contact less 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Daz Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Young lass in front of me at checkout had her contactless declined, and requesting a PIN. It's the new rules regarding contactless the assistant explained. She couldn't remember her PIN, and walked out all embarrassed. Technology eh. Cash is king. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No difference in time that takes I explained it already and blew your ‘cash is quicker’ argument right out the water To the degree that it left you stood standing next to the pond with your clothes soaking wet and some kids pointing at you and laughing saying ‘look at the man over who is soaking wet through ha ha ha’ whilst one of them takes a photo of you for his Instagram and titles it ‘wet man who is soaking wet’ 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
