Asda: Full list of stores going cashless as manned supermarket checkouts are scrapped

HAYSIEHAYSIE Member Posts: 35,827
At 14 stores, cash tills have already been scrapped.




Almost 100 Asda supermarkets will be going cashless in a controversial blow to shoppers.

Manned tills are already being binned off from the retailer's petrol stations, with an Asda spokesperson saying that 90 per cent of transactions are now made via credit or debit card. Now, a full list of forecourts going cash-free has been confirmed by the supermarket chain.

    What a terrible article. An important subject-handed to an illiterate.

    Which is it? The Headline says it is supermarket checkouts.

    The list refers to "paying at the pump"-so referring to the petrol stations-not the supermarkets. Providing "a list of forecourts going cash-free". It's drivers-not shoppers.

    Do these journalists get paid?

    That does seem to be the case.
    It will affect motorists rather shoppers.

    My local Tesco has been card only self-serve for some years now. 6 Pumps, & no staff.

    It took a bit of getting used to at first, but it soon became "normal" & now I much prefer it to regular petrol stations. It makes so much more sense to use plastic imo.

    Life is changing, we all need to change with the times.

    Terrible. For 2 reasons.

    1. There are over 1 million adults who are unable to get a bank account in the UK. Who will be unable to get petrol from all these places

    2. Asda do not just discriminate against those who cannot get a bank card. They also discriminate against the poor. In my area (and I suspect most others) you cannot use the pump unless you have more than £100 in your account. So-for example-if you have £90 in your account, and want to buy £50-worth of petrol, you are refused

    When I was growing up, I was aware of people that couldnt get a bank account.
    Although it was still possible to get a BS account with a card.
    The company that I used to work for refused to take on new starters, unless they had a bank account that their wages could be paid into.
    I believe this was in response to new HMRC regulations at the time.

    I used one of these unmanned Asda pumps very recently.
    It pre authorises £99 worth of fuel when you insert your card, as Phil says.
    Obviously you are only actually charged the correct amount at the end.

    From what I remember on the notice at the pumps, this is a MasterCard/Visa initiative.

    It does discriminate against those who don't have that much available.
