Pizza Hut as a business was failing long before the cashless decision. Nice attempt at straw clutching. 17 hours ago, Padders said: If I go shopping with £30 in my pocket, then I can't overspend. Sod em! If you've only got 30 quid on your card you can't overspend. It'll decline. In any case self-control is also an option. Like it or not cash as a payment method is dying. It accounts for less than 14% of all transactions (21/22). Early indications show that fell a further 1.7% for 22/23 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can stop payments on a whim, or as a punishment. Remember those Canadian strikers who had their money / credit withdrawn because they'd had the audacity to go on strike? They will know where we are, who we are, what we've got, what we do with it, how we spend it, and what we spend it on. If they don't approve, they can suspend payment. Cash is anonymous, and our last freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you, when using plastic, you spend too much. simple as that. As I've already said, I like to keep a tight rein on my finance's. If I go shopping with £30 in my pocket, then I can't overspend. Sod em! Get one of these Padders. https://www.revolut.com Stick £30 on the card and go shopping. Once it runs out, you have to stop. You can keep track of it using your smartphone. The same smartphone that Blackrock are using to monitor your movements 😁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies also collect all sorts of data from them and use it as most benefits them. Banks can also freeze your account or debit it at will. It's well known. They also get things wrong and make mistakes. It's happened to me when I was miles away from home. If I hadn't had cash on me as well as well as cards, I wouldn't have been able to get home. Nothing conspiratorial or tin hat about it. Edited June 25, 2023 by Anna B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Yes how dare the authorities try and locate a missing person or try and solve crime. The audacity! Edited June 25, 2023 by HeHasRisen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the police and banks have to get permission to do as you say, and there are strict controls on how they proceed. I've never noticed any strange behaviour, and I've used credit/debit cards for 99.9% of my transactions for at least the last five years, if not longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know full well that the authorities can do more or less, as they please, and often do, when they're taking time off from breaking the law themselves. Because you don't notice any strange behaviour, makes no difference whatsoever, To Anna, me, or anyone else. Everyone does as they choose, as always.
