Cashless society

You wouldn’t catch me in that pub if she was on. They go from apathetic to lazy to rude to useless round here.

It’s a physical job but if you can’t treat drinkers with a little respect then you won’t last.

It's my local, I'm sure she'll be found out soon enough as a lot of old regulars use it. Stupid really as most tip quite often but there's always one greedy fucker with no qualms about ripping decent people off.

I had a refund for a delayed train today. They sent me a F..kin cheque! What am I supposed to do with that? Genuine question?

Might depend on your bank but with both my personal and business accounts I can scan in a cheque using the app if it’s less than £1000.

I had a VAT refund from HMRC and these come via cheque.

My income tax refund from HMRC went straight into my bank account as I applied on line. had I not applied I would have received a cheque about 6 weeks later.

They might treat VAT differently as it’s to do with business not personal tax.

I got a cheque recently as I'd overpaid for something. I just took it to the bank and paid it into my account. Simple really.

Lots of places are card only to prevent staff dipping their hands in the till

But they should still accept legal tender.

I do receive a cheque but tbh I rarely bank it, it’s that little, and my bank that far away, by the time I’d done it, there’d be little more than a couple of quid left :-S.

Sure I’ve seen the beggars in bolton with card machines.

Yep. And to have a card machine, you need a bank account. To have a bank account, you need a permanent address.

They might be broke but not homeless. Or possibly they had a permanent address but are now homeless and didn't tell their bank.

Possibly. And possibly not. Who knows?

The second line isn’t true. The majority of major banks have a partnership with Shelter and probably other homeless charities to enable homeless people to open a basic bank account.

Cheques can also be paid into your bank account at your local post office. You don't actually have to go to a bank as such.

They can accept whatever form of payment they want.

If you have a bank nearby……no branches for 15 miles where I am

You don’t even understand the term.
Legal tender is that which is accepted to settle a debt, not pay for goods.

Seems quite good for Antarctica.
