Its retailers that are pushing the move away from cash
Any sporting or entertainment venue I’ve been to recently do not accept cash.

I'm a firm believer that there needs to be a robust push-back in favour of cash. The banks are basically having a bubble charging us for every cashless transaction while gathering our data and selling that on as well.
A lot to be said for as many barter arrangements as possible at the micro level, even local currencies as long as there is no transaction fee.

Is that the robust push-back you're looking for?

Yeah Covid gave retailers and venues the excuse they needed to refuse to handle cash.
The government should make it law that a cash alternative has to be offered.
A lot of older people don't like to use cashless payments and it is not without its issues as we are seeing now
From a vendors point of view it's great of course as faster transactions no need to cash up or go to the bank and cuts out staff calculation errors or hand in the till situations.
We don't see those savings passed on to the consumer of course.
Fullers pubs are amongst the worst offenders for refusing cash
for no good reason.
Not only that the one near Wembley stadium not only refuses cash but doesn't even sell any cash ales
What kind of pub is that .

At what age are you incapable of dealing with cashless payments? There's a lot of talk about older people not being able to cope. Just curious when that kicks in.

Pickle, i think you’re bang on here.
Personally, I don’t like single point of failures. If I lose my phone, I still have my wallet and vice versa. If I have a wallet, I tend to have cash.
Convenience comes at a price.

If the public carried cash we wouldn’t have to worry about the above bollox.
Why are the public walking into a cashless society? Are they really that stupid?
The only ones to gain by that are the banks, tax and vat man. Banks are sticking it up us left right and centre. More and more small businesses are getting screwed with the added costs on transactions. Then you’ve got the multi millions in tax and vat that they never had prior to covid.
tradesmen can no longer do a small job for readies, every penny is now accountable for.
How are kids going to learn the value of money? They’ve got no chance without using cash.
People are over spending on debit and credit cards, they’ve lost their inhibitions when spending, it doesn’t feel so bad tapping your card on a night out then going out with cash in your bin knowing you’ve spent more then you wanted when you get home.
It’s costing loose change charities millions every year, how many on here can honestly say they put loose change in a charity box nowadays?
This cashless society is a massive problem, we won’t be far off the Chinese social credit system the way it’s going. Madness.
