Whether it's getting on a bus or buying a pint, there's no need to take a note or coins out of your wallet or purse these days. Many people simply flash their bank card or phone at the cash machine and job done.
Cash is used less and less - but there's still a percentage of the population who want that option. A trial by Greene King to make some of its pubs card-only has sparked anger, with many Nottinghamshire Live readers insisting "cash is king."
However, pubs including the Travellers Rest in Mapperley and The Hutt in Ravenshead aren't the only places where customers have to pay by card. Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake, the new restaurants and bars at the Island Quarter in Nottingham, are both cashless, as are all 200 Degrees coffee shops.
