Coffee & ITSO
Mizter T wrote Anyway, when it comes to buying low value items (apart from local fares where Oyster is a boon), I've never had any particular issues with using cash! From Mondex onwards, cashless payment systems for small purchases seems to have been regarded as the holy grail (see all the notions of cashless payment by mobile or 'm-payments') - I wonder if it isn't just technology desperately looking for a use... I paid all I had, £1.17, for a large coffee the other day 'cause the guy hadn't change for £10. If you haven't had problems with "exact money only" and "no change given" you must carry about a fair bit of cash. Hence the schemes for parking and parking meter payment with mobile phones ? What we haven't got is an easy method for micropayments, less than £2 say and especially over the phone and over the net. -- Mike D |
