Of the 8 dispensers in our local town, 6 are free and 2 charge you. The 2 that charge have free ones in the same establishment. The village shop just up the road charges, that's why I never use their cash dispenser. You can get money out of the post office free of charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how these folk get away with jt. There were owners of Chinese takeaways in Edinburgh who paid for their children's school fees in cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I forgot cash on Saturday for the fitba at east fife and the pie hut only took cash Thankfully my mate had some so I didn't miss out on the pie at the fitba experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I've had 40 quid in cash on me for the last week and I've barely managed to get rid of it. Feel like Donald Glover in that episode of Atlanta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Option should be there for both. Any place that has “cash only” in the window gets a swerve from me. Had one a while back on my way to work. Went into a roll shop, no sign on the window about being cash only, ordered my roll and coffee and was standing holding my bank card whilst waiting. Gets to transaction time and they tell me it’s cash only. Told there’s a cash machine outside up the street which is annoying enough, but I go out to it and it’s one that charges £1.99. Walk back in and they tell me the next closest one is a 10-15 minute walk away. Had to just leave the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lobster Shack in Crail only takes cash all the time. The people who run it are not Chinese. I meant Chinese takeaways. Every time I've had one they've said cash only. And once in a chipper in Moffat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Always carry cash. Find it bizarre that people are shocked when they stumble upon a business, that still uses a system whereby goods are exchanged for money. It’s only been the main method of global trade, for thousands of years. Also, my favourite pub in Dumfries would laugh you out the door if you tried to pay by card. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Eat Out to Help Out last summer required the restaurants to register with HMRC. HMRC published the list of participating restaurants. There was not a single Chinese Restaurant within a 5 mile radius of Stirling city centre listed as participating. Maybe allowing HMRC access to a 4 week window of how they trade wasn’t really worth it for them. #jussayin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain in the arse when cash is presented and they tell you 'but we thought you knew..........' To know these things in advance would be helpful, so folks I'll start you off with........... Brel in Ashton Lane, Glasgow. I think it’s a good thing. Businesses accepting cash should be optional for them but all businesses should be forced by law to accept card and contactless payments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 There were owners of Chinese takeaways in Edinburgh who paid for their children's school fees in cash.One of my first jobs was in a cashiers office that collected the old rates (pre poll tax). Chinese would frequently come in and pay cash and often their cash would be coinage. Total PITA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
