A pub retailer and brewer has made a change to how people pay for drinks and food - leaving some punters threatening to boycott by taking their business elsewhere.
Greene King has stopped accepting cash at some of its pubs across the UK as it trials card-only payments in areas including the North West, South East and Midlands. Customers visiting the trial venues will only be able to pay for food and beverages by card, reports Nottingham Live.
The chain, which operates 2,700 pubs, restaurants and hotels across the UK, said it is testing cashless payments in establishments where the majority of transactions are already made by bank cards. The chain, which owns 20 pubs in Greater Manchester including Fountain House, The Deansgate and Royal Oak, hasn't confirmed a list of the pubs taking part in the trial, but pub-goers in some parts of the country have already threatened a boycott if the change becomes permanent.
