More and more businesses would force you to pay by card for that 70p transaction and very recently, this happened to me, and for that very amount. I refused to pay by card and left the item on the counter, politely telling the lady behind the counter that I would never return. She said that if she had her way, she would have allowed payment in cash and she was happy to direct me to another shop which took cash. I mentioned it in the shop she directed me to, and the comment I received was "interesting..."

I wonder how much revenue and profit businesses which refuse cash are losing, both from the charges they pay for every card transaction to any actual reduction in people coming through the door.
