Green Man	I only know of one cafe that refuses cash, however they are surronded by 6 dozen other coffee shops. I don't know any of high street shop apart one bakery/coffee shop that refuses cash, then again I don't live in London or near any big city. All the big complexes and arenas in Brum are cashless but IMHO I don't feel safe in Brum as it is. Then again the city is so broke and broken, it's hardly worth visiting.
d AV iD	I agree Green Man, Some cafes here are cashless and I know some shops prefer to go cashless to help avoid staff theft.. but really cash is legal negotiable tender, just found this article online.. www.9news.com.au/national/money-matters-...58-b700-139dffeda678

I like Farm Shops when I'm in the country (especially in France, Italy and Morocco). I had to google Partridges, and it looks fab. Aren't these lovely? www.partridges.co.uk/biscuiteers-bridgerton-luxe-tin.html How much are the waving cats?
Green Man	Go to the smaller indie cafe's David, a lot of them their own loyalty scheme; it's just a card getting stamped after every after every visit. They don't sell your data to unknown Third Parties. If a resturant refuses cash then I walk away...biggest turn off for me is that a lot of theatre's are cashless, however most theatre's I go to are near to the pubs and are a little bit cheaper, I vote with my wallet. I don't buy overpriced merchandise anyway these days, I don't care if the CD is signed. I feel too old to wear a band T-shirt these days. I think only women can get away with wearing a Tee with a band on from the past. I remember during the plandemic when shops refused my cash, I tried to explain to them it's cheaper for your business. They took it whilst grumbling, one of the shops I deliver booze gives me a cash in hand...if they are fiddling their books that is up to them; but to me cash is still good. I still get a cheque now and then.
d aV iD	but I was going to say.. even though I am economically ok I always look for bargains and hate over paying for grocerries and over paying at cafes ..now I take cash since nearly everywhere has introduced profit gouging with credit card surcharges, weekend trading surcharges and public holiday surcharges... some places even have splitting the bill surcharges..
