It is of course their choice- as it is mine to choose NOT to spend my money with them

I bet it’s some while before a couple of those non league grounds we used to visit go cashless.
You could count the “official attendance” in just one of the stands

I dunno, Oxford City encourage you to buy online and have a digital ticket on your phone - it’s cheaperI bet it’s some while before a couple of those non league grounds we used to visit go cashless.

Quite right too - I’ve never had time for the argument that OUFC are entitled to any of our time/money if it doesn’t work for the individual

Ah, so the real reason you're opposed to this is because your sex toy collection will be difficult to grow.

Agreed, it should be by choice. Paying by card incurs additional cost, so I'd expect that to be passed onto the consumer. I rarely carry cash. I was in town a few weeks back, didn't have any cash on me. A Big Issue guy asked if I had any change, I said "I'm sorry I don't have any cash", he said "I can take payment by card!" lol.

You can do all of those electronically. Have you ever caught the M6 toll? I was on that earlier and it's card only.

I wonder what happens if your card’s declined for any reason? As I think the tolls are now unmanned.

press the button, you eventually get to speak to someone- they print you an invoice from the toll card machine, and you have something like 24 hours to pay the toll when you get home/ where you're going
( my card would not work / read at the toll machine coming back on the m6 toll earlier this year)

Leyton Orient tickets are paper, I have just fitted a new post box on my garden gate, turns out the fucker isn’t waterproof so Leyton Orient tickets were drying out for a few days, thankfully it worked but you don’t get that problem with digital sarge.

Many market sellers take cards at the ones I've been to recently. I've given money to buskers via contactless card. I've paid a big issue seller with contactless card. tipping is a contentious one, but I tend to avoid chains (in general) where they pocket any of the tips (but then TBH those places do it with cash tips too). Piggy banks/tooth fairy - TBH kids will be way ahead of you in the digital world.
