Takeaways who only take cash

[BringBackSwales]

Not had time to shop today so ordered a Chinese takeaway from a busy place in Timperley. She gave me the price over the phone. Went to collect it 10 mins later and in getting my wallet out (the same one that caused so many issues for the brentford stewards test) was told “oh it’s cash only”. I didn’t take cash out cos she hadn’t told me it was cash only and I hadn’t been there before, so I left the takeaway with no food and she was left with 2 meals to eat. We all know the real reason some of these places are cash only - tax dodging bastards, we know what you are

You'll be back there in a fortnight with two crisp twenties picking your grub up

Ours only takes cash...they do like flutter do the Chinese.


The taxman has a few interesting methods of checking them out though

Specially if you phone them…

That wallet is giving you a bit of shit. Every casino in the country will show how much the Chinese love cash.

Is it because the card companies take a wedge?

No they take next to nothing. Card transactions show how much trade they are doing though, cash doesnt. Tax fiddle

There's a Thai takeaway near me where you can order via an app, so have to pay by card, but if you go in and order, it's only cash they take.

Try using a card in Sicily. Good luck.

I like the way you have phrased this so that it sounds like the boss from my favourite local chinese takeaway.

Whenever I see stuff like this I think back to this on twitter. I know its probably bollocks but still makes me laugh.

Exactly the same near me. I only eat the shit twice a year though so I couldn't care less if they're fiddling £4 tax. I imagine they'd have to either put their prices up or cut back on portion size or quality if they were to pay it. Let's face it I run a business and I won't be footing any tax or NI hikes that'll be unfortunately on the customers bill. Capitalism. Load of bollocks

There are perceptions that some traders accept cash to keep it of the books to avoid VAT and stuff. It is also likely beneficial to access things like working tax credits

Did you manage to sell his meals on to another customer?

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise',

The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hadn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down..

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.

'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you order?' The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise'

'Ah! So sorry,' says the waiter, 'I bring you Peeking Duck by mistake'

Running your own business is Capitalism.
