No point arguing as it wasnt her policy but I was thinking things must be pretty good if you refuse custom based on your own derived policy. i walked away grateful that she saved me from my moment of weakness but i did make a mental note not to give them my business in the future. By principle i use cash most of the time as i like to complete trade transactions immediately and save fees but i got to think about the inherent weakness in relying on a system totally reliant on electricity, internet, machines etc. There has been many stories of systems being down, software glitches, power outages so I was somewhat bemused that someone would have a business that does not have good resilience in exchange methods. I am sure this will play out more in the future

Went to Phil Collins concert at Adelaide Oval...had to have a vendor card...had to line up and put cash on their free vendor card so as we could buy drinks and food from several food outlets there ...had to judge how much we needed as we had to line up after the show to get any residue or we could come back when footy was on and use it then...
