Only thing I would say is that with every electronic transaction your money diminishes ever so slightly - ie. we're all being charged to spend money. With cash a fiver is still a fiver, no matter how many people's hands it passes though. It is a bit of a con, but doesn't trouble me too much as an individual, losing pennies every day. But from a broader perspective it irritates me that people make a very good living from doing pretty much feck all.

Offset and more by the fact you can buy things cheaper without cash, online than you can using cash in a bricks and mortar location.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Online, yes, maybe, but a pint in the local costs the same regardless, or paying someone to work in your house - no discount there either. In fact probably the opposite, for quite different reasons though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't done the timings and the maths since I don't own a pub but I'm sure pub owners have. For example I imagine it's possible to have fewer workers on at once if not wasting time going into the till and counting change, handing it over, after someone rummaging around their pockets for the money etc. Simple tap here, done. I'd imagine that saving is more than the miniscule amount charged for a card transaction.

It's harder to get staff to work in pubs now, tips have all but disappeared since the swing to contactless.

£6 in most pubs, £6.80 I've paid in hotels.

I don't mind paying £6 for a Guinness though as you can't get one as good as out of a pump. Other drinks out of a bottle is basically the same.

Funnily enough I've never really tipped in pubs until recently, when the option to do so is on the card machine screen when you pay

I got a takeaway order out of a cafe down the road from the office last week and when I went to pay the girl held the machine out to me and said it's going to ask you a question. The question was 'Tip? £2, £3, £4. OTHER'. I felt her eyes on me, panicked and felt compelled to tip. So went for £3 and drove back to work furious 😆

Paid bloody £3 extra for a sandwich.

Stayed in a hotel in Dublin last December, Cardiff Lane and it was €6.80, although the pints were tremendous.

Yeah I have the nitro surge unit. Not bad but still not quite there. Also expensive. Honestly the previous iteration was just as good and cheaper, can't remember what it was called but you poured it into your glass, then used a cheap jewellery cleaner to activate it, rather than the expensive and hard to find Guinness unit.

Putting me in the mood for a Guinness here 😆
