The cashless plus digital-less society

In other words … grand theft from depositors on a massive scale. On that Sainsbury’s cash crash again:

“Disgraceful by sainsburys today. My Mum arrived in local branch and was told they can only accept cash due to tech problems.” Yes, I heard similar through the morning. I suggested she try Morrisons. I usually took cash equivalent with me in case card didn’t work.”

… come other reports from up and down the country:

“I went to get cash yesterday machine broken .Post office closed .Went in coop and ask cash back could only give me £10. Machine been broken for a week .Hairdresser only takes cash. Long story short - I managed to transfer payment. What a pain.”

Another replied:

“You can do ‘chip and pin’. Just so slow.”

(Cough) Think it’s a bit more than just a temporary inconvenience … think it may have been a trial run.
