Mike at Vauxhall Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Retail is changing, and I happily adapt and embrace those changes, but sometimes... "That'll be £1.50, how are you paying?" " Card." " absolutely fine, " but in my head, " of course, you f*****g millennial" .....it annoys me. Fast Fix Elgin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay next to nothing then great, but if you’re paying 50p then you can’t really let someone put £1 on a card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just apply a minimum charge and most will oblige, that's if you can't stomach the 1 in 50 customers that do it!

Fast Fix Elgin Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I can see the world population going cashless in the next 5-10 years After the next global economic reset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have no objections to going cashless as long as small business’ stop getting penalised. In the US they get grants to go cashless to subsidise the card charges. But for now, I’m going to keep saying no when I get asked if they can put a 20p key cap on American Express Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 We have no minimum on cards at all but we do not Accept American Express as there charges are ridiculous. keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we were also once promised a "paperless office"? Then it became a requirement to start keeping additional hard-copy records (in secure storage, of course). "They" make the rules up as they go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t look like a very friendly comment, or maybe I’m reading it wrong. im sure he takes enough for a good living. If I had my own shop and took that much I’d have enough to pay someone else to do the work for me. grahamparker and da miller 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
