They weren’t going to keep you as a hostage due to their inability to take payment.

Your not going to tell us you do not have a quill...or slide rule or abacus
Been using it since it was first made available in the UK in about 2015, so nearly a decade ago.
I amazed the local publican by being the first person to pay using a mobile phone.
He had no idea it was possible.
I can go months in-between visits to the ATM, and nearly always that is because I'm using a local tradesman who will do me a better deal for cash.
I only ever take a wallet with me incase I need backup, which oddly I had to use last week, for probably the first time in a year, when the card machine failed at a local trade supplier.
As far as I'm concerned any business that says 'cash preferred' is liable to be trying to defraud HMRC.
Those that say 'cash only' are not likely to get me as a customer, and I presume are laundering cash and avoiding HMRC.
We had a local 'cash only' fish & chip shop.
HMRC visited one day. It closed that night. A 6 figure fine.
They had to sell the shop.

Always been a strong advocate of google pay and not used cash or cards much for several years now but yesterday i lost my phone in Thailand. It's a nightmare. Cannot access any of my banks, or my email. Fortunatly my wife is more careful so we have access to funds but i just spent half the night on the hotel reception phone ringing the bank of every card i can remember i have on google pay and those that i have downloaded apps for.
One thing i have learned is to bring a second device with you, tablet/computer, as accessing google on a new device is impossible without a your phone. I didnt for the first time this trip. Currently on my wifes tablet but I will have no access to email or whatsapp/sms for another week. Could be an interesting experiment.
P.s. why does my wifes tabl3t not dod predicitve tex5, punctiua5ion, etc!!!!!!

I most certainly still have my slide rule from when I was an apprentice
I’ll bet it still works when the batteries in the calculator have died

you can keep it in your wallet, but still need to scan the Tesco club card at checkout . to get your points ...
or
do as I do, use the hand held shopping scanner, that registers your club card

I’ve always assumed you do but if I’m in Tescos paying I scan the Tescos phone app as well . If you pay by card they do it twice.

Yes , if you set it up correctly and have working wifi and data. Not for me sadly.

Ooh now, I think of CC as my Tesco credit card and when I said my phone I meant I scan the Club card app first and then pay with Apple Pay. So I’m using my phone twice.
I’ve always avoided the add to wallet but now reading comments I’m convinced it’s the way to go. I’ve just put my cards into my Apple wallet. Shops next.
I went to the shops. Blimey, why didn’t I do this before! So easy.

Fair enough, but I can't help but wonder just how hard was it for you to pay the old fashioned way?

short arms deep pockets makes getting at the cash hard, my mates normally tip me upside down to get the coins out of my pocketsFair enough, but I can't help but wonder just how hard was it for you to pay the old fashioned way?
If the old fashioned way is cards, then I no longer need to carry a wallet bulging with bank and other cards, spoiling my trouser line.Fair enough, but I can't help but wonder just how hard was it for you to pay the old fashioned way?

I think there are still members who take the cow on a halter to barter for produce.If the old fashioned way is cards, then I no longer need to carry a wallet bulging with bank and other cards, spoiling my trouser line.

In Todays Telegraph:
An “error” in an overnight software update has left Sainsbury’s unable to take contactless payments in stores or fulfil online food orders. Tesco said it had been forced to cancel a “small proportion” of deliveries because of a “technical issue”.
Just thought I'd throw this into the mix.

Also:
It followed a similar issue at McDonald’s which brought the fast food chain to a standstill on Friday.
There's a lot of it about.

yes.. includes phones.. but not chip and pin..
I guess it's prudent to carry a 'back-up card' if you need cash or there is problem with Apple / Google Pay system.. but in 8 or more years using Apple Pay I have never had an issue
