No. In effect that would be surcharging for the use of cards, which is illegal under laws passed last year (you know, the ones the popular media had demanded for years in relation to Ryanair and easyJet)..

You fail to answer the points regarding being person centred and its best practice. Its an uncaring and ignorant position with respect however it is not uncommon. In regards to your questions. Are you implying that elderly and disabled people do not use contactless cards? No. What has vulnerability got to do with somebodies payments methods? Abuse. Capacity. Comprehension skills. History. Risk. One of the demographics I mentioned was disability - A learning disability is for life. There is no cure. Individuals with severe and profound LD's do not adapt/or find it challenging and problematic to do so. You would lose that bet unless you possess cures and knowledge unknown to science . I would imagine someone which a severe and profound learning difficulty would come with a carer. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Paying quickly is one thing - decent service is quite another. Half the staff serving at the ground dither so much that any advantage gained when paying by card is quickly lost as they pour 3 2-pinters of Butcombe directly from the barrel or aimlessly wander around looking to see what a Maltsmiths actually is.

Be prepared The point being if cash is the contingent position one still needs to maintain the infrastructure, tills, cash floats, cash storage, cash handling bank services....just in case something goes belly up. And if it's there and somebody wishes to pay cash but isn't allowed, I can see that going well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLear Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 There was a busker in a tube station in London on Saturday who had a contactless card machine set up with a sign saying it was £2 per 'swipe'.
