Always good to have cash on hand. Some times when systems are down and cannot accept electronic payments. Depending on were you are at, pulling out a big wad of cash is not a good thing to do. Expand Yes, always have cash on hand and never carry change. Have a monster old wine bottle filling up with it though. Don't particularly trust card machines and definitely don't trust using some stupid app on my phone to pay for things. Although I don't particularly trust card machines, I do use them most of the time for paying for things.

FloatingFatMan Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I very rarely carry cash as it's annoying, BUT I also get annoyed having to dig my cards or phone out too. It's 2021 for Zod's sake. Time to start using biometrics everywhere; it's a darn sight harder to steal someone's finger/retina print than it is their wallet! Also, get rid of transaction fees, as that stops the small businesses taking electronic methods of payment. Also also, why are checks still a thing in America? They're possible the second most insecure method of payment there is AND are soooo 1980's... Most of the rest of the western world has almost completely discontinued the things... +Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/page/3/#findComment-598617880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted January 12, 2021 MVC Share Posted January 12, 2021 I usually have £20 in my wallet "just in case" and a few coins, however since the lockdown started in March 2020 I've used cash twice. Once at the local barbers (who since started taking contactless) and at work when we all ordered a hot sandwich in. Where possible I'll use contactless via my phone, or card failing that.

Expand Surprisingly cheques seem to still be a thing in the UK for high value purchases, its not uncommon for us to have thousands in cheques at work. Although this is mainly pensioners who seem to pay like that. We also still have a fax machine... which I'll never understand why certain people print things out and fax them! both are very 80's I agree. I've never wrote a cheque and the only fax I've sent is to see if someone else's fax machine was working 😅 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/page/3/#findComment-598617895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
