Why is cash no good anymore?
i went to Dixons today to order something that they did not have in the shop, i went to pay for the order with cash, i was told sorry you can only pay for an order by card.

Actually I sure that cash was and still is considered legal tender. In other words they have to take cash(assuming you're talking about American Dollars being spent in the US). So in other words I don't think they are allowed to do that.

Presumably a company like Dixons has a mammoth accounts department, and holding potenially hundreds of small packets of cash money is a practical nightmare. Speaking from experience of how work's computer system goes about it, the sales ledger, purchase ledger and cash book are all heavily interlinked, and match the company bank account to the last penny. Perhaps they can only bank the cash when theyre actually looking at the box containing the goods you ordered, as otherwise you'd have all these relatively small sums (and the odd large one) flying about with no invoice/ completed order to match up to and therefore explain its presence, and since the lead time on goods which theyve sold before getting them into stock may vary from 24 hours to 3 months (and more if your the patient type), sorting all that out would be a nightmare. Their accountants would be tearing their hair out trying to tally it all up, and the taxman would, no doubt, be watching with great interest.

As someone has already pointed out, its more convenient to take the payment in your absence, but then again, maybe your right. If they didnt invite you down to sign or PIN the card transaction, they're wide open to hooky card abuse...

Because bit by bit we are coming completely under the control of authorities (big brother) they know where you are by the use of your credit card or cash card whereas if you are usng cash you could be anywhere buying anything which is how it should be. Everything you buy is listed and where you buy it. Its about control (they say its to fight crime - what crime - I thought spying on people and tracking money spent is an infringment of freedom - that's the worse crime of all) don't be fooled and if Dixons don't want your money - fck em - go somewhere else!

Money should always be accepted. Maybe the person you spoke to wanted to steal your credit card info and therefore put you in hock for the rest of your life.

I guess it's easier.

If you don't want to borrow from credit companies or can't have a credit card, you way find a prepaid Visa or Master Card that will help you to order !

I accept cash...

That is ridicilous! And if I was you, I would have walked out and gone to another shop.

I guess its so they can charge it when they come in - hence yiou only pay if it does come into stock and they can can take a deposit and refund it very easily as you do not have to be there for it to happen.

It's more secure to pay by debit/credit card

cards are for sure...cash can get lost...easy pay dear...!


G!
Dixons advertise cash as one of their accepted methods of payment, so they are legally obliged to accept cash IF you are paying for the item there and then.

However, if you are paying for an item, and they charge at time of delivery, then they can claim the card is guarantee for payment.

My advice;
1) Check another shop which may have stock
2) Wait till stock comes in if its an item they ussually stock
3) Ask them to phone you when they get it in (as above)
4) Ask to pay cash when it is in stock

I take the assumption that the cash is relevant to the country you are in, ie you are in UK and it is GBP, but the notes on the cash say "The Bank of England, I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five pounds" because that peice of paper ensures they get £5. The same goes for all the other notes. Cash is absoloute tender.

maybe it has to do with the fact that money is the root of all evil....or because the american dollar is dropping in value.
