The only thing that's affected me is a regular appointment I have for one of my eyes, should have treatment every 12 weeks, now 6 weeks overdue but understandably so .The only car parts I've needed were an oil filter for the Subaru which was straight of the shelf so Covid hasn't been much trouble here.

It does seem to be a convenient excuse for screwing consumers... Tescos, for example, have stopped cashback at regular checkouts, you have to go to customer service, an oxymoron if ever there was ::)



just how much cash do you think goes into each till to enable them sell it to other customers? Who pays any charge over a few quid with cash? Those of us who do insist on carrying cash are old fashioned. Or just old.

It's a recent change and an inconvenient one as the cashpoint is often out of order... Obviously 'this isn't Tesco's fault' but it does the necessitate a journey to somewhere else if cash is required due to the purchase stipulations on cashback.

Pre TCV no one had an issue keeping adequate cash in the tills at any one time :-X

We've had £300 in cash in our safe since March 2020 & it's still untouched we pay for everything on our cards I've had £40 in my wallet for " emergencies" for months , it's definitely a thing of the past.

I think more people pay by card now,especially as they were encouraged to do so to break a possible route of transmission of the virus.

Or Spanish ! Cash is still king though you aren’t supposed to pay cash for anything over 1000 euros. Never been cashback at Spanish supermarkets.
