Cashless Society
61 Answers
I’m making a claim today (for a UK first) in terms of the UK becoming a cashless society.
At lunchtime today I was unable to buy a drink; I had cash, I had a credit card, I had a debit card, I even had a gift card for the pub chain – but my Nokia 3310 is not compatible with the required app to order away from the bar. Staff refused to serve me, not having an acceptable (to them) method of payment.
Anyone going to claim this has happened to them before today?

Most window cleaners around here never see their customers (because they're out at work). Customers pay them by direct debit.
Independent traders (from burger van sellers to car booters) use these (or similar):

When there's a power cut the whole property becomes a liability and would need to be evacuated.
I don't want to burst your bubble, but retro phones belong in the past. The 3310 was the worlds favourite affordable phone... more than 20 years ago.
Smart phones are as cheap as chips these days. With a basic modern phone you could have easily used your gift voucher.
My guess is most of the bar staff will never have seen a 3310. Make sure your next phone has NFC and a 6+" screen.

We can but hope the Government's 'nudge unit' don't herd us into the cashless lunacy O_G

1972 ..... back when they had gas lamps and naked flames..When men were men.. really!
We are talking about earlier today when if your trading premises are not inspected, licensed and certified to trade. You will be dragged straight to court and sued should you cause harm to any customer through negligence. Keeping a property open in a power cut would be deemed negligent. Slips, trips, spills, alarms, sensors, lighting, ovens, pumps, think about it. Health and safety has been put in place for a reason.
