At the moment only if you make a purchase here Bruce; "Do you want any cash back with that?" is a phrase well-used.

Yes you can Bruce, if you can distract the assistant long enough to grab a handful of folding stuff out of the till and then run like hell. They won't recognise anyone wearing a mask, and in our local Tesco, the security guard is so overweight, Long John Silver could out run him....

Although, using my loyalty card for the points might not be a good idea......

Re: Abolition of Cash

The more we rely on technological advancements, the more we will struggle when they fail.

Technology is great when it works.. there is no plan B. Without cash and no means of accessing money, how would you cope.

They also said, What if these motor cars take over from the horse, where will we get the manure for my roses and tomato plants?

Re: Abolition of Cash

I caught the wife mooching around in my wallet, I thought it strange that she ignored the notes compartment and was checking just the coins, then the reason became obvious, she was "going through the Change".

Without cold, hard cash, life without it may be more so.

Turn a phone into a virtual wallet, and an expensive toy becomes a necessity.
