Club shop cashless

[Upton Rover]

Club shop going cashless from tonight, will the catering and bars go that way??

One of the biggest cons of going cashless is that it excludes certain customer segments. If you are not able to provide a cash payment option, you will be losing out on customers who are unable to make purchases because they don't have one of the accepted methods of payment.

Some customers are not comfortable using credit cards or can't even afford to do so. Some market research and surveys on your buyers may be beneficial to see how many of them are open to you going completely cashless.

Privacy concerns
Privacy concerns are one of the biggest arguments against going cashless in your business. There are many ways that you can lose privacy when you go cashless - credit card information could be stolen and hackers could find out what purchases are being made in your business.

Consumers have to share their data with vendors and retailers when they use cards at checkout, which can lead to hackers gaining access to their financial information.

Greetings from the digital age!

It's hard to imagine that it took so long for Rovers to adopt a cashless system, but with 98% of the population now holding a debit card, it's clear that the clubs doing the right thing. Credit cards are now widely available and often offered for free, while debit card banking is also accessible without any cost.

Although privacy is a valid concern, the transition to a cashless society is inevitable, so it's important to embrace it with open arms.

You won't be so happy when your card declines because you've gone over your carbon credit limit for the month.
Coming soon to a brave new zero carbon era

More time consuming for a business to handle physical cash. You also need to cash up at end of day and take cash to bank.

Pretty sure you can load cash onto a visa card that you can get from a supermarket

The cashless society will arrive and it will be a major, if unstated, government aim to bring it in.

It will make tax collection easier with no cash in hand transactions, it will stop your local drug dealer taking a handful of readies and it will save on printing banknotes.

An alternative system of barter will come into being for illegal transactions but what that will be, I don't know. I can't see a dealer taking a piglet in exchange for a bushel of weed.

Slightly offensive to suggest elderly and people with disabilities can’t use a bank card. Sounds like you are having a moan for the sake of moaning. I would likely think the amount of people actually using cash is very low hence the decision.

Slowly drip feeding it into your subconscious, but you're f**ked up on aspertame and you'll not notice until it's too late.

You can’t sell tap water, you would need a license from Yorkshire Water, and they don’t give them so totally illegal to sell tap water.

40p for the lime cordial

If they are a licensed premises they have to provide it free of charge if water is asked for. They can't charge for it by law.

However, there is nothing to stop them charging for the use of the glass, any water filtering or as a service charge...

Cashless will make borrowing a fiver off your mate for a pint a bit difficult.
