hi folks as someone who does'nt have ANY credit cards i am annoyed that MAJOR supermarkets are changing their self service machines to card ONLY CASH is KING it was great to get rid of all your wee coins in the machine saves you busting your WALLET if people want to use c/cards fine but also give the option of using cash ELDERY / budgeting people SUPERMARKETS get it SORTED !!!😂😂😂

I don’t know where you shop but where I work you can use cash and card. You can also use a debit card, doesn’t have to be a credit card.

You don’t need a credit card though just a debit card.

If you want to pay in cash then use a manned till that takes cash!

How else will we all know that CASH IS KING though? 🙄

I have a credit card but never use it for shopoing. Don't you have a debit card?

You can use cash all you like - just go to a checkout that allows it 👍

Are you not able to get a debit card or use your phone?

Only one of the self service tills at our local Tesco accepts cash. There is always a queue for it after school.
