I'm pretty sure that the Shopkeeper/Pub keeper (Whoever) is charged for every card payment/transaction which makes sense to accept cash as the best option.
Don't know if its a fixed rate or percentage based.

Wonder how much the PPI stuff had an effect on the banks closing. I know it was a few years ago. It must have been millions that banks paid out. I guess anytihng that causes the banks to loose money, forces banks to cut back spending, cut wages and amount of branches open.
Then it makes me worder how much the 'desel claim' stuff is going to effect the car manufacturing all becsaue a person will say they didn't know deisel was dirty and make up some story that its effected their life since they brought the car and get compensation from it. Will prices of cars shoot up. Next there will be claim places going after car manfucaturers when battery cars cant do the range they claim to do.

Petition: Make a UK law requiring all establishments to accept cash
We believe it is discriminatory to only accept card payments. The Government should require companies to take cash. Establishments are taking away our right to choose how we pay. Make it illegal to only accept electronic payments.

Banks don't care about their customers. To reliant on computers.
Popped to the local Indian earlier. They prefer cash. Actually you can't pay by card even if you wanted to.

Last few times I went to my local Indian I ask 'Card or cash' and they say either. However, due to the poor quality of food I no longer go there!
Going off thread slightly here but good point anyway. (Maybe restaurants could be a good new post?)
