So now, you get long queues of people at the till, who all want to pay in cash. Tesco brought in the self-serve to cut down on till use, but now, they have removed the cash element, and as a consequence, they have to re-open the tills. Where is the logic in that?

    Needless to say, I join the queue and pay in cash - not because I want to, but because I object to the fact that the machines have been changed. It's almost like I pay in cash just to spite them. I don't mind using a card, but if I want to pay in cash, the option should be there.
    I remember a few years ago when 'my' Tesco introduced self-service tills at the expense of around half a dozen staffed ones. The manager was keenly directing me towards them and was a little taken aback when I told him I preferred to talk another human being and help keep her[him] in a job. I also make a point of using cash for day-to-day purchases.

    The the vast majority we use online banking. Until I'd say a couple of years ago we used some cheques, but that was mainly for kids stuff at school. Even that has stopped now as the school are using ParentPay.
    Still have to visit the branch every now and then as my elderly inlaws still like to send us a cheque for birthday presents etc and, I think, Nat West are one of the few banks who dont allow you to upload a photo of a cheque to pay it in.

    Impressive. 30 years though? How did you manage in the 90s? I still have to write a handful of checks every year. I still pay certain tradesmen (plumbers etc) in cash. I keep cash in the house, and I usually carry some in my pocket. but I very rarely use it.
