Is that for real?
If it is, I'd boycott them.

Pretty sure it’s real as I saw it elsewhere. Never been in a Starbucks in my life. If I want a coffee I’ll make it myself, with coffee mate, coz coffee tastes nicer with coffee mate.

Pretty sure that drinking coffee and cakes, is going to dip your social credit score.

There were quite a few pubs before Covid that were cashless.

Of course, whether those pubs will exist once the energy prices rise, is anyone's guess...

If they are a registered business they cannot refuse Legal tender , take what ever your buying and offer payment ,if they refuse it 3 times, its treason and you can keep the purchase.

I believe it’s only for a debt they can’t refuse cash.

Nope they use the word cash , but Legal tender with the queen on it cannot be refused if there registered as a business. you guys really need to come and learn this stuff.

Petition: Make it unlawful for shops to refuse cash payments.

Make it illegal for retailers and services to decline cash payments.

[What?]

More to the point, why do people queue up to pay £3 for a cup of coffee?

 

[sixthswan]

Because flasks don't look cool.

They do if they come with a flat cap and a scarf

One of the feel good stories out of Canada is that Starbucks had all started going under, then the pandemic finished the rest of them off.

 

[What?]

Because flasks don't look cool.

Since when???!!!

 

[sixthswan]

Since 1892

 

[What?]

You'll be telling me driving gloves are silly soon I suppose

 

[sixthswan]

I've never seen a glove drive a car?

 

[sabredunce]

Starbucks pulled that in a few test stores from 2018 and it continued through the pandemic. Think it was to discourage robbery and employee theft as well as keep the riff-raff out. They rescinded the decision recently I know.

Handy when you're pissed

It's terrible. I don't know how we'll survive this.

Don’t be frighten, it won’t hurt you.

 

[Blue-streak]

Sorry, I’m lost here.
What’s the problem with card payments or Apple Pay etc? I’m trying to learn NOT looking for an argument!

 

[What?]

Because you're paying for credit you don't want. The merchants are paying for this service which means you're picking up the tab

Remember the days when shops wouldn't take cards?

In the interests of balance I was in a pub Saturday that had signs up everywhere saying "Cash Only"

 

[DagenhamFox]

Like many things it really doesn’t bother me.
