It does remind me of the once I genuinely thought I'd been scammed. £27.40, couldn't work out why.

The next day in work described my outrage to a colleague as we had been standing at the bar. This is a joke... etc. etc. My colleague replies

"Two Staropramen and 20 quid cashback?"

Suddenly it all made sense. I do more often use phone payments but not out of an inherent distrust of contactless - just I have my phone on me more often than my wallet. Like a true Scotsman.

Had to look that up, never heard of that beer before.
