Yes, some fools still use cash.

That's because it's quicker than cards.


Like hell it is than the most recent tap&pay cards where you don't
even need to enter a PIN,


Not much point to your argument when nobody uses such cards.


Unless it's a very small amount of groceries it'll be over the
£20/transaction limit on contactless payment anyway.

They may do in very big conurbations like London, but not in most of
Britain.


Meh, our Co-op in the middle of Englands Last Wilderness does
contactless payment. Trouble is not every Chip 'n Pin terminal does
contactless payment. On those that do there isn't a nice big obvious
logo and others don't have a lip of some sort so you can place your
card on the terminal and carry on packing whilst the checkout
operator takes payment.
