To be fair it's been a couple of months since we last did it...

That doesn't help people on a tight tight family budget. I take a set amount of cash on the day, and any change goes back into the family finances. Sat on a pre-payment card it doesn't. Any contactless payment on top of the cash I take is extra leakage from the family finances as well.

It's an abomination of a decision and I am really pissed off about it.

Not sure if serious?

 

[Pablowolf]

Our Paddy went full gammon because he mis-read the post.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And i was entirely serious. But it’s been answered now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I note from the Mix I am hardly alone in feeling put out by this as well. Cash tills had better be clearly marked because I absolutely will not use contactless. I want to pay fucking cash.

 

[Del Woppio]

Really? You hadn't mentioned it

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Still annoyed about the whole fucking concept.

Not being a dick but i'd be interested to know why you don't like using contactless. It's a far more convenient way of paying for things. You can still separate cash into separate accounts with the same provider and manage it all from computer/phone, don't really get the downside to it.

Probably the first time we've seen "I must be right, loads of people from the mix agree with me" tbf, so that's something

 

[Lycan]

I think we should go back to a bartering system tbf. 2 shit berry ciders in a plastic glass and a balti pie that's somehow hotter than the sun around the outside but still frozen in the middle for 3 hens.

Me too. I just prefer to pay cash, sometimes due to budget but mostly I just do

I don’t use internet, phone or any type of technology banking. I have paper statements and I make note of my cash withdrawals and tally them up. I have a set budget for a day at the football and withdraw that in cash so as to not exceed the budget. Contactless on everything would be a licence to overspend which in my current financial state is not an option.

Due to your budget? Items are the same price whether they are paid for via cash or contactless?

Why is it a licence to overspend? Or is this a self control issue?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Because there is no opportunity. If I run out of cash I walk home. Fuck off with the holier than thou shit BTW

I genuinely don't understand how a grown man has this issue, but ok.

 

[Alan]

It does seem like the prepaid card idea solves the issue.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Already shoutily dismissed by pro-cash Paddy.

 

[BGreenWolf]

This all seems rather secondary to the fact there's absolutely no indication that cash can't be used anywhere in the ground.
