Rejected petition Keep cash use in all shops
Rejected on
To allow everyone to use cash in stores/shops as a legal tender.
Cash is a legal tender and should be able to be used in all shops and as a way of paying for something. Children and adults are being refused food etc because shops won’t accept cash! It’s disgusting. We should have the right if that’s the only money we have! Most people will use card where able but we should also have the right to use cash in shops to pay for goods.
