Re: Part cashless at the Turf
Excellent news regarding a cashless Turf, means if ever I'm caught short coming from work, or I'm tempted to buy any over the overpriced crap they serve, they wont accept my cash as payment.
I barely take my bank card anywhere, I'm very much a cash in my pocket type of person.
Well done BFC, I always regret it when I get suckered in to buy something, and now I cant even get suckered in.
Everyones a winner!

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
Fair to say it came back to bite today (not having a cash option on the concourse). Lots of tills not working in the Longside Concourse (and on the Bob Lord apparently) and those that were working were going ‘three or four times slower’ according to one cashier. Dozens and dozens of people leaving the queues in frustration.

Same thing happened in Primark.
My mum says it’s the Russians. She also thinks they control the weather.

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
It happened in The Bridge 2 weeks ago on match day. Apparently it was fairly widespread in town and actually happens reasonably frequently. The Bridge had to stop taking card payments and it was cash only for a couple of hours before the match and because loads of people (like me) don't carry cash as a rule they lost plenty of business through no fault of their own. A poor do, I feel.

Surely you’d expect there to be contingencies in place?

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
Nowhere should be cashless unless its completely automated. I get the reasons why businesses prefer cards, I have a business myself, but we still have notes and coins and I couldn't ever countenance refusing someone a washing machine because they want to pay with cash.

I tried putting a bet on in Coral before the game and that was down as well.

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
This may sound a silly question and perhaps legal eagles will know. But if a seller is advertising a product for £5 and you give him a £5 note, can he refuse? In the same way you order a pie and pint at £6. They serve you and you leave £6 cash is there any law broke?
Re: Part cashless at the Turf
If the seller is offering to sell you something and you offer a £5 note, he is entitled to refuse because you haven't made a deal yet.Coeus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:20 pmThis may sound a silly question and perhaps legal eagles will know.

If you order a pie and a pint and you are served with it, then the seller (as I understood it 30 years ago, but I don't think it's changed) can't refuse the £5 note (or £6 note!) because £5 notes are legal tender and if they are offered legal tender in payment of a debt, they must accept it. If they turn it down, the debt is deemed to be settled.
Please don't go to court and quote me on that!

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
I went on a bit earlier today, so I thought I would treat myself to a Snicker bar whilst I waited. The lad serving put something on the counter, I didn't look, and just pressed my card on the machine. When I did look he had given me a pie and this cost £4. So I asked to replace with my original request, for a Snicker. He didn't know what a Snicker was so I had to point (I think he may have been foreign). So he gave me the Snicker but since this was priced at £2, he couldn't give me change. So asked another chap behind the counter for help. He couldn't arrange the charge either.
So I bought another Snicker.
I think there may be a moral somewhere here, probably look at what you buy before using your card or you may end up with 2 Snickers.

For another £5.50, you could have had a Twix.

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
It's not as straightforward as you think, and the term 'malicious compliance' may have been invented for such a thing.
If you owe me, a shop, £100, and you attempt to pay it in 1p pieces because of umbrage, spite, pettiness, whatever, I can refuse, because the maximum I have to accept (legal tender) in copper coins is 20 pence worth. So of the £100 debt you could pay 20 pence of it in 1p and or 2p, then I think it is a fiver each of 5p and 10p, and a tenner or maybe twenty in 20p, up to £100 in pound coins (I think).
However - there will be a terms of entry condition on your ticket or card or whatever that force you to abide by the rules of the 'shop' which you have agreed to by buying a ticket. This is the terms of the contract, part of which enables you to purchase further items. So you don't enter into a contract with Tim the Bob Lord Barman, so you owe him nothing, you've already entered into a contract with BFC Holdings or whatever, and in so doing have agreed to their terms. So yes, they can refuse you service for cash, if that is part of their T&C's.
If you argue the toss and are taken to court then you can pay the outstanding debt with cash, though.

She's definitely on to something there mate.
Old Vladimir was musing over his options recently.
He had lots of options and in a fit of boredom went with "absolute grey feckin drizzle" .

One day the miserable beast will select "heatwave"

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
Only use for cash these days appears to be tradesmen who want to fiddle tax. Got asked to pay £2k in cash last week… refused bank transfer and now badgering me for the money! Thing is, cash points (and my bank) limit the daily withdrawal amount. Had I known I wouldn’t have used this chap.

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
The power went out in the catering unit nearest the club shop in the Bob Lord when i was last there v Watford. I got a free pie, so i'd say the cashless system worked perfectly well for me on that occasion
Re: Part cashless at the Turf
The till I was on kept jamming and then started adding up on its own. A meal deal and a radioactive hot dog came to £44. Had to be aborted until it cleared again. It’s quite annoying the cashless aspect and I’m not convinced it’s speeded anything up. The servers go at snails pace and the powdered milk is revolting too.

Yeah most of them do that. Certainly in my experience anyway.

Re: Part cashless at the Turf
Seems to be the beginning of the end for cash transactions. Automated payments is becoming the norm, which benefits the employer as there is no balancing the til at the days end. These days I very rarely carry more than £20 cash, simply because I don’t use that many places that want cash.
