Pay At Pump With Mobile Phone.

I do laugh at all this pay by mobile palaver .... I must be getting old

The other week x3 bikes pull into a petrol station together.
Me old school fill up and go in to pay the cashier with a pocketful of coins (around £15) from various trips.
Gloves on, bike started and away from the pump, err what are them two doing

5 minutes later ......
"Ok so what happened?"
"Oh it wouldn't take my phone so I had to use a card"
And you?
"first card wouldn't go through so I had to use a 2nd one".

Cash is still king

The only time I "pay by mobile" is when I have my youngest with me. Here, pay this and I'll do a transfer when we get home

 

Like you i'm a cash (dinosaur ?). The problem I sometimes find, which amuses me, is when you get a brain dead kid on the till who can't add up.

 

Yep been there, I gave a McDonald's cashier the price plus a bit, like say £10.58 ( £10 note plus coins) for a £5.58 bill.
She gave me a load of change back plus my own coins
Err excuse me, why didn't you just give me a £5 note?
Apparently the till said the change was £4.42 so that is what she'd gave me plus my odd coins

God help us!

 

I do still carry cash just in case it's the only way to pay but I have to say that paying by phone (google pay or whatever it's called) is the b*llox.
Fill up bike, take phone off quadlock, go inside and wave it over the machine and back out again - don't even need to take your gloves off.
Hate queuing behind some old bugger who's paid by cash and is waiting for his change
