Brrrrrrr. Gives me the creeps. My phone is too old probably for this intendeduse.
Doubtless technophiles will shout hurrah.

I worked in technology and have always been fairly pro - but feeling a bit like you now!

Like everything else Digital, it will probably take years to implement with dates put back and many false starts!!

Not looking, not looking, not looking ........

I work in IT and wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Seems like something worthy of a Black Mirror episode...

You Luddites you, you'll be wanting these back next

Phwoooooarr!!

You don't get many o' them to the pound!

I put boarding passes in my Google wallet which works fine it even keeps me updated re delays or gate opening etc.

My local accepts cash only, long may it do so.

Amen. I respect every business that carries such a sign.

Seemingly they are still used in some places where phone or internet services are not available although how they work with modern printed cards with no raised characters I don't know, probably have to hand write the numbers on the vouchers.

Re 'cash only' establishments. I have no problem with that so long as they make it crystal clear from the the moment you set foot in the door.

An Indian restaurant not far from me switched to a cash only policy but decided to appraise us of the change only after we'd eaten and were presented with the bill. We didn't have sufficient cash on us and there were no ATM's nearby (not sure I'd have put up with the inconvenience of going and coming back anyway, or the charges for using a 3rd party machine) so we ended up getting about 25% off, a hell of a bigger loss to the restaurant than the card fees would have been!

They have since displayed their policy rather more prominently.
