Rejected petition Make supermarket self service tills all accept cash as well as card payments.

Enforce supermarkets and businesses with self service tills ensure they all have the ability to accept cash which is legal tender and card payments so as not to exclude people who still deal in cash.

More details

Because cash is legal tender and should be accepted at payment points. Today in my local supermarket - 8 self serve tills and only one was able to accept cash. All self serve should have the ability to accept card or cash payments - not everyone wants to pay by card or wait long periods to wait for a cash till to be available.
